Product:OS X Product Version:10.9
Classification: Reproducible:yes
 
Summary:
I cannot connect to websites protected with 8192 bit RSA keys using Safari or Chrome, only using Firefox on OS X.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto https://shiz.me/ using Safari on OS X


Expected Results:
The site should load normally.


Actual Results:
the site will not load properly. On Chrome, it will claim that the certificate is invalid.

Version:
OS X 10.9

Notes:
Apparently the preset value of RSAMaxKeySize in com.apple.securityis too small (as described at http://shizmob.tumblr.com/post/67305143330/8192-bit-rsa-keys-in-os-x )

Configuration:
occurs on both OS X 10.8 (all patches applied) and OS X 10.9
