The graph on this slide presents the length of the SSL/TLS keys used by Brazilian Higher Education Institutions. It shows that the majority of HEIs use either 2048-bit RSA (65.23%) or 256-bit ECC (9.69%) keys, which are considered secure and of high quality.
However, the results also indicate a timid use of 3072-bit RSA (3.20%) and 384-bit ECC (0.44%) keys, which offer even more protection due to their longer length.
It's worth mentioning that there is only one institution that uses a 1024-bit RSA key, which is considered absurdly insecure.
These results suggest that there is still room for improvement in the level of security offered by Brazilian HEIs.
