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
