Subject The name that other organizations see as the holder (owner) of the
certificate. In general, use your registered business name or official
company name for this purpose.
Note: Generally, all of your certificates should have the same value in the
Subject field.
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
