Ok, now we're getting somewhere. It's a misunderstanding of what the values mean (I'm going to over simplify some to make the points clearer). When an SSL connection is 40-bit, it means that the negotiated key size is 40-bits. When you ask to generate an X-bit certificate, that refers to the lengt

Is there an option to openssl that enables you to set the bit to 128? I want to generate the cert using the CA.pl script, but by default it sets the bit to 40. I'd like to set the bit to 128. Can someone provide the syntax for this option? Thanks. - Wally Winzer Jr. S/MIME Cryptographic Sign
