What does the certificate key length mean and what does it affect? Print

  • 0

Certificate key length is the number of characters used in encryption, measured in bits. In the user's understanding, the length of the key objectively affects the cryptographic strength of the key and, consequently, the security of the data. Nowadays, the most popular SSL certificates are those with a key length of 128 and 256 bits - this is quite enough to ensure the security of data during transmission.
