CAUTION: Each certificate has a variable-length embedded RSA Key. The RSA key
can be from 512 bits, which is relatively insecure, through thousands of bits, which is
very secure. When you are obtaining a new certificate from a Certificate Authority
(such as the Microsoft CA), be sure the RSA key embedded in the certificate is AT
LEAST 768 Bits.
