The 1024 key size is for the RSA key, which is certified in the
certificate. The 40 bit is the symetrical encrytion key. The public key
encryption is used for signing and initial establishment of the secret key
encryption. The secret key is used to encrypt data. It is normal to see
1024 public key encryption used together with 40 bit secret key
encryption in SSL.
