- Encryption Strength
- Strong or Weak
Certificates exported from older browsers are usually weakly encrypted. Certificates exported from
newer browsers or Certificate Management are strongly encrypted. This makes them more
secure from unauthorized access, but they cannot be imported into most older browsers. Use strong
encryption when the certificate will be accessed over the Internet with an unsecure protocol, such as
http or ftp. Certificates accessed using https, ftps, or from the local file system do not
need to be strongly encrypted. Use weak encryption only when the certificate is not accessed
with an unsecure protocol and must be imported into an older browser.
