What does the length of root key mean?

The root key signifies the strength of the security certificate. The standard root key length used to be 1024-bit, however those became vulnerable so in 2010 the root key length was upgraded to 2048-bit. All of our products have a 2048-bit root key length so you stay one step ahead of hackers.
