The algorithm for generating the public-key/private-key pair, and
the key size. If you are requesting an SSL certificate, of if you are
requesting an identity certificate using SCEP, only the RSA
options are available.
RSA 512 bits = Generate 512-bit keys using the RSA (Rivest,
•
Shamir, Adelman) algorithm. This key size provides
sufficient security and is the default selection. It is the most
common, and requires the least processing.
•
RSA 768 bits = Generate 768-bit keys using the RSA
algorithm. This key size provides normal security. It requires
approximately 2 to 4 times more processing than the 512-bit
key.
RSA 1024 bits = Generate 1024-bit keys using the RSA
•
algorithm. This key size provides high security, and it
requires approximately 4 to 8 times more processing than the
512-bit key.
DSA 512 bits = Generate 512-bit keys using DSA (Digital
•
Signature Algorithm).
DSA 768 bits = Generate 768-bit keys using the DSA
•
algorithm.
•
DSA 1024 bits = Generate 1024-bit keys using the DSA
algorithm.
