What is encryption strength? And what is the strength of your certificates?

 

The certificate encryption strength is a measure of number of bits in the key used to encrypt data during an SSL session. The bigger the number, the longer it takes for computer(s) to crack or break the code.

**It is strongly recommended to use 128 / 256 bit SSL encryption on any application or website.**

All our SSL certificates now support up to 256-bit encryption. That means that if the user's browser supports 256 and your web server supports 256, the SSL session will be 256. If 256 is not supported by both the browser and the server, the SSL session steps down to 128. Mozilla's Firefox web browser now supports 256 and others, such as Microsoft, are likely to follow. Going forward the shift will be from 128 to 256.
