cPanel - SSL/TLS

The SSL/TLS Manager will allow you to generate SSL certificates, certificate signing requests, and private keys. These are all parts of using SSL to secure your website. SSL allows you to secure pages on your site so that information such as logins, credit card numbers, etc are sent encrypted instead of plain text. It is important to secure your site’s login areas, shopping areas, and other pages where sensitive information could be sent over the web.

The default key type for SSL/TLS certificates and CSRs.

Use the system’s default key type. Recommended Current

Current value: RSA, 2,048-bit Select this if you don’t know which key type is best for you.

RSA, 2,048-bit RSA is more compatible with older clients (for example, browsers older than Internet Explorer 11) than ECDSA. New installations of cPanel & WHM ship with this setting.

ECDSA, P-384 (secp384r1) ECDSA allows websites to support Internet Explorer 11 and retain compliance with PCI standards. secp384r1 is more secure than prime256v1, but may perform slower.

ECDSA, P-256 (prime256v1) ECDSA allows websites to support Internet Explorer 11 and retain compliance with PCI standards.

RSA, 4,096-bit RSA is more compatible with older clients (for example, browsers older than Internet Explorer 11) than ECDSA. This is more secure than RSA, 2,048-bit, but will perform slower than RSA, 2,048-bit keys.
