It has been a long time since I purchased a SSL Certificate for a web site and I am confused on what I need. There are a lot of options and I can't filter out what is really needed verse what are optional premium services. Would really like to hear from your experience what is important to you when purchasing a SSL Cert.

Some of my questions are:

  • How important is it to have 40 bit minimum vs. 128 bit minimum encryption?
  • Is organization validation important if this is going to be a B2B site?
  • Is the warranty/insurance important at all? Is this just a marketing scheme? How many people really collect on this?
  • The site is going to be Windows Azure should this matter in my decision?

Thanks in advance for your answers!!
