Good find! Didn't realize Github were using 2048 bit keys. I would be interested in knowing what the actual performance differences are between key sizes, given RSA is used in the initial negotiation before symmetric SSL takes over. >so one could say that googleapis and fb use snake oil rather than ssl ...) Given that Paypal, my bank, Google and Facebook use 1024 keys, I think labelling 1024 bit as "snake oil", might be a stretch. ;)
