Common Name Enter the same name that the user will enter when requesting your web
site.
Example: If a user enters http://www.widgets.abccompany.com to
access your web site, the Common Name would be
www.widgets.abccompany.com .
Expires Enter the expiration date, in mm/dd/yyyy format, for the new self-signed
certificate.
Example: An expiration date of May 9, 2010 is entered as 05/09/2010.
Key length Select the bit size of the new self-signed certificate. Choices are:
 512 bits
 768 bits
 1024 bits
The larger the bit size, the longer it takes to generate the key. Approximate
times are:
 10 seconds for a 512-bit RSA key
 30 seconds for a 768-bit RSA key
 1 minute for a 1024-bit RSA key
 30 seconds for a 512-bit DSA key
 2 minutes for a 768-bit DSA key
 6 minute for a 1024-bit DSA key
Type Select the type of key:
 RSA = Public-Key Cryptography algorithm based on large prime
numbers, invented by Rivest Shamir and Adleman. Used for encryption
and signing.
 DSA = Digital Signature Algorithm also based on large prime numbers,
but can only be used for signing. Developed by the US government to
avoid the patents on RSA.
