Thanks for your interest in pyOpenSSL. These certificates are generated for the test suite's use only. They're not used by any production pyOpenSSL code. There's no reason to make them as large as the current security recommendations might suggest. Instead, there's a reason to make them as small as possible - because generating them takes time and uses up system entropy. This suggests that 512 bits is still a suitable value to use here. |

512 bits in a test case seems a little outdated.
2432 is from the default in gnutls certtool
