Hi Everyone
 
I am going to set up a Web site with SSL for a company.And as being a newbie to SSL and cryptography,I have some foundamental questions.
 
 
1.To the Japanese user ,which length of RSA key can be used ? Do I have to pay money to rsasecurity for the patent.
 
2.I found in the netscape browser(ver6.2) that it only support RC4(128),RC2,SHA,DEC,MD ciphers.There is no RSA.But from my knowledge,the ssl is founded on the RSA.Am I right?And how does the client decode the message with the public key?
 
3.This is what shows in Details of Certificate from IE,when I access https://www.citibank.co.jp
 
Signature algorithm       md5RSA   ----Does it means the type of private key at Server Side?
Public key                    RSA(1024 bits) ---Does ie support keys over 128bits?And can the RSA over 512bits be used out of US?
Thumbprint algorithm     sha1      ----Is it from CA?And does the browser  receate it from the certificate and compare to the origin one in the certificate automatically?
 
Thanks in advance
