+    This directive specifies whether or not &my-app; should use Elliptic-curve cryptography
+    when generating website keys that are being used  when https inspection is enabled with the
+    <literal><ulink url="actions-file.html#HTTPS-INSPECTION">https-inspection</ulink></literal>
+    action.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    When set to 0, &my-app; generates website certificates that use RSA keys.
+    This is expected to be slower but may be required for compatibility with very old clients.
