GlobalSign announced the global adoption of recommendations made by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the mandatory requirements of Microsoft’s Root Certificate Program. By the end of December 2010 all RSA based certificates issued from GlobalSign’s extensive portfolio of digital certificate lifecycle management systems will be a minimum of 2048 bits.

 

GlobalSign has been proactively supporting 2048 bit certificates as best practice since early 1998 and welcomes the recommended advice and mandatory root program requirements.
