Cold Fusion, under IIS, has access to the following SSL related cgi variables:

CERT_COOKIE
CERT_FLAGS
CERT_ISSUER
CERT_KEYSIZE
CERT_SECRETKEYSIZE
CERT_SERIALNUMBER
CERT_SERVER_ISSUER
CERT_SERVER_SUBJECT
CERT_SUBJECT
HTTPS (on or off)
HTTPS_KEYSIZE
HTTPS_SECRETKEYSIZE
HTTPS_SERVER_ISSUER
HTTPS_SERVER_SUBJECT

You can refer to them in your CF code using the cgi scope (i.e., 
#cgi.cert_keysize#)

Hope this helps,
Judah
