When I surf on an HTTPS site in Chrome, how can I see the bit count used by their RSA encryption? (e.g. 1024 bit, 2048 bit...)

Seeing bit count of RSA in Chrome

At least following procedure shows the bit count:
Click on the lock icon on address bar.
Select 'Connection' tab.
Click 'Certificate Information'.
Select 'Details' tab.
Depending on Chrome version, it's already visible or can be found from 'Certificate fields'.

It has nothing to do with the encryption used to protect the data exchanged against interception. – David Schwartz – 2013-01-25T18:52:03.850
