No, the certificate is independent of the symetric key-length. You can have a server with a 512 bits certificate which used 128 bits symetric-key, or a server with a 2048 bits certificate which used 40 bits symetric-key. It's just a question of configuration of the server and the version (support crypto 128 bits or No). -- Ludovic FLAMENT __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List[EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The key length should be 512-bit. If you want IE to handle certificates with 1024-bit keys, you will need to download the high encryption package (click on "update information" next to cipher strength in that About dialog box).

I checked my IE version information, it only tell me like that: version: 5.00.2614.3500 key length: 40-bit it doesn't show the key length of certificate. how can i know of that? appreciate for your help! __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List[EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
