LOL ... look at sshd for windows ... 40 bit is crackable and 128 will be difficult. What is the information that this server will be guarding. The more sensitive, the better the encryption should be. If the information has a real short ttl, then 40 bits should suffice. Usually crackers get

Hi Stephen, You might want to look at purchasing your SSL certificate from another reseller. An SSL cert should be able to be used at any possible bit encryption. If you are going to be processing card details or sensitive user data then I would recommend the highest encryption level available,

Well, it depends which algorithm is used for the encryption. The 'bit' value isn't as important as you might think, compared to the specific algorithm used. If you're refering to RSA public key encryption, most online businesses use a 1024 bit key; 128 bit keys not very secure, given the speed

It all depends on how important you feel the username and password are;) Every encryption can be cracked, it's just a matter of time. I'd say use 128-bit not only b/c it's stronger, but in my experiences I'd rather spend a little bit more money on hardware that'll do 128-bit w/o any notice of lag
