Mozilla now supports the FIPS ciphers which is one more step closer to being DoD PKI compliant but when will it be able to support 1024 key length so that I can use it to request an X.509 certificate?
Our PKI extranet (Netscape) certificate server rejects its request stating it expected a key length of 1024 bytes and above but received a 512 byte key during the certificate request generation. I really want to have our people use this extremely capable browser and got excited when I noticed it supported the FIPS ciphers (which is one of our requirements) but I was disappointed to find that it apparently only supports a 512 byte key. This leaves only Netscape Communicator 4.75 and above - which will not be around forever (and doesn't have the desirable features of Mozilla 1.0 or Netscape 7). --- Charlie
