CSR for Win2000, Need 128bit - Only option is 512bit


CSR for Win2000, Need 128bit - Only option is 512bit Jeannie

iis security: We have IIS 5.0 or 6.0 and I was going through the wizard to obtain a CSR for a client. I got to the step where they ask for what bit length, but there is no option for 128. The lowest is 512bit

How can I get an option for 128bit? Is it a service pack or something

The default is 1024. This is not for the symetric key encryption that is
used to encrypt normal data transmission (whether the client supports 40, 56
or 128 bit is built into the client application or OS). This is the strength
of the public/private key pair that is used to exchange the session key.

It is what is used in the "handshake" process outlined here:
