ok, im not sure how to explain this and i have no clue how to do this. if someone could help i would greatly appreciate it.

ok, i want to have a setup where my site mot-studios.com can sign client side ssl certificates (i think thats what it is) so that only visitors with the certificates can view certain encrypted pages.

also, is there any possible way to have more than 128bit encryption via a browser? if not, why hasnt it been done? 128bit is kinda weak dont ya think?

thanks

Assuming you're using modssl?

ModSSL supports up to 168 bit cipher keys. Most browsers only support up to 128 bits. A 128 bit cipher key is by no means "weak".

For simple fundamental questions like this, it is usually faster to do some google searches than wait for an answer on this forum.
