What RSA key length should I use for my SSL certificates?

Question

I\'m in the process of creating a CSR, and I wonder which is arguably the best length for my RSA key.

Of course, 384 is probably too weak, and 16384 is probably too

Answer 1

This coming August, Microsoft is going to deploy a patch to Server 2003/2008, Win7 ect.. that will require the use of a minimum 1024 bit RSA key. So you might as well start making that your "bare minimum" standard.
