Title:
  NIST: increase RSA key length to 2048 bit

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  According to NIST 800-131A, RSA key lenght for digital signature must
  >= 2048 bit.

  In crypto.py, we use 1024 bit as the default key length to generate
  cert file, and does not specify any larger number to override the
  default value when utilizing it.

  def generate_x509_cert(user_id, project_id, bits=1024):

  Need to increase the default key length to 2048 bit.
