I am about to generate a CSR for my FreeRADIUS Server. The vast majority of my clients are Vista and Win 7 with a few MACs, with this in mind would I be better off going with a 1024 bit cert or would a 2048 bit cert be better?
A 2K cert would be better.
I know both are quite secure, but for platform interoperability and future proofing, does anyone have any thoughts on which one is better?
It's possible to crack 1K certs with available amounts of CPU power. i.e. large companies could run a screen saver on their desktops, and crack a 1K cert in a reasonable amount of time. Alan DeKok.
