Hello all,
looking for a bit of advice as searches have not really reaped much.
When we set up Djigzo's CA what would be the most client
inter-operable settings to use; 2048 bits with SHA512 ? I have been
led to believe that there have been issues on BlackBerrys, quite
some time ago, when using 4096 bits and SHA512.
- You should not create/issue certificates with less than 1024bits RSA
anymore, 2048 should be sufficient for the next 10 years
(

- SHA-2 had somewhat more issues especially on older windows version
still widely used
(

Windows should be fixed today by this security update which bumps up
the crypt32.dll though:

So using 2048RSA/256SHA-2 should be safe enough an at least for e-mail
understood by most clients today.
