I'm not sure this question is truly about php, but given that i'm writing PHP it seemed appropriate to ask: when users connect to my site using HTTPS, how strong is the encryption? someone told me it was 56 bit when you connect with web browser. i have a cert on my server.
this question is definitely php:
when i use cURL to connect to another HTTPS site, how strong is that encryption? does it require a cert on my server to work? does php actually encrypt the info?
