Is OpenSSL + ModSSL 128 bit encryption capable?

Is OpenSSL + ModSSL 128 bit encryption capable?

am 17.08.2002 15:07:27 von Jindo

Good Day,

My web server softwares are:

- OpenSSL 0.96g
- mod_ssl 2.8.10
- Apache 1.26

My ISP told me this combination could only support 40-bit cipher
strength. However, on mod_ssl official page, I did see:

128-bit strong cryptography world-wide

In order to clarify this, would experienced modssl users confirm it for
me that I could

1. Buy 128-bit certificate from CA
2. Install the CA on my server with the above configuration
3. Browser with 128-bit cipher strength may communicate with my server
using 128-bit encryption.

Thanks :-)

Yours truly,

Jindo
