[openssl.org #2845] Impact on OpenSSL 0.9.8h from upcoming Microsoft patch

[Atul Aggarwal via RT]

Hi Experts,

I am analyzing the impact of the Microsoft update coming in August.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2012/06/12/rsa-keys-under-1024-bits-are-blocked.aspx

I am working on an application which is running OpenSSL 0.9.8h over Windows
2003.
Now I want to understand if I should by bothered with the coming update
from the Microsoft from OpenSSL perspective.

For eg, during SSL handshake if we get the certificates from the pears with
512 bit keys, will the handshake be accepted?

Looking forward for your response

Thanks
Atul
