MakeCert - Is it possible to change the key size?

Question

When i generate a Certificate using MakeCert.exe I want to change the key size from 1024 to 2048.

Is this possible? Or do i need to setup a Certificate Authority?

Cheers

Answer 1

A description of makecert options can be found at msdn, but I didn't see an explicit one for setting the key length.

Answer 2

Here the following syntax s used:

makecert -pe -ss MY -$ individual -n "CN=your name here" -len 2048 -r

Sorry i cannot test it, since i don't have makecert
