Alan_B Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Title: Microsoft Security Advisory NotificationIssued: August 14, 2012 Security Advisories Updated or Released Today * Microsoft Security Advisory (2661254) - Title: Update For Minimum Certificate Key Length - http://technet.micro...dvisory/2661254 - Revision Note: V1.1 (August 14, 2012): Executive Summary corrected to help clarify that after applying this update, customers need to use certificates with RSA keys greater than or equal to 1024 bits in length. I understand that to indicate that a shorter key length such as 256 bits should no longer be trusted. Why do they start the message with -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA256 That 256 bit certified warning against less than 1024 bits looks to me like a reality disconnect Incidentally, does this mean that I should now enhance my WI-FI WPA2 password to at least 1024 bits to stop a drive-by intercept ?
