Hash Algorithm From the drop-down list, select one of the following hash algorithms:
• MD5. A 128-bit (16-byte) message digest, slightly faster than SHA-1.
• SHA-1. A 160-bit (20-byte) message digest, slightly stronger than MD5.
Signature Algorithm Although this seems to be a drop-down list, the only possible selection is RSA. In
other words, RSA is the default to generate a CSR.
Signature Key Length From the drop-down list, select one of the following signature key lengths in bits:
• 512
• 1024
• 2048
Note: Larger key sizes might improve security, but might also decrease
performance.
Optional Fields IP Address Enter your fixed (static) IP address. If your IP address is
