It is incredible that a single mobile device can compute some maths over a few seconds.An attacker can have a whole datacenter, for reference a newly built AWS datacenter is hosting about 60 000 servers. A web server or a mobile client have one (low-power) CPU. There is a huge disconnect between the capacity of a user and of an attacker.There is another method for public key cryptography based on elliptic curves, see ECDSA (1992).Just have to increase the number of bits to keep up with faster computers. RSA was first publicly described in 1977 and it's still strong almost 50 years later.However, support for these large keys is rare in software and with CAs. Beyond 3072 bits, NIST recommends 760 bits, with effective security strength of 192 and 256 bits, respectively.Fewer sites use RSA 4096-bit keys than 3072-bit keys, but usage is comparable.Consider large actors like Google, CloudFlare, NetFlix with immense traffic and hardware footprint. The "web" is largely remaining on 2048 bits certificates because it cannot bear the hardware cost for 4096 bits. ![]() Do not blindly upgrade certificates to 4096 bits without considering the performance impact. 4096 is not twice as slow as 2048, it is maybe 10 times slower to process. Computational cost is not linear with key size.The effective strength of 4096-bit keys has not been estimated by NIST, but others suggest a value of 140, which is only 4000 times stronger than 3072-bit keys and sometimes regarded as "not worth it.".All major CAs can issue certificates for 4096-bit RSA. While it's an oddball size, 4096-bit keys are available and widely supported.It has been proposed as the default RSA key size, but opposition has ranged from "2048 bits is good enough," to "might as well go to 4096 bits." Let's Encrypt will issue certificates for 3072-bit keys.For their extended validation services, some CAs don't allow 2048-bit keys and require at least 3072-bit keys. ![]()
