Our certificates are 1024 bit capable and support 128 bit browsers. The strength of the public key in the certificate is defined by you when you generate the key pair for your server. If you generate a 1024-bit key pair and submit the associated CSR (Certificate Signing Request), then the certificate you receive contains the 1024-bit public key. If you generate a 512-bit key pair then the certificate contains the 512-bit public key.
