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:
 2 minutes for a 512-bit RSA key
 5 minutes for a 768-bit RSA key
 15 minutes for a 1024-bit RSA key
 8 minutes for a 512-bit DSA key
 20 minutes for a 768-bit DSA key
 60 minutes 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.
