HTTPS is a user space program (SSL). Your kernel should have nothing to
do with it. Maybe when quantum computer roll around, it will, but it
doesn't right now.

I imagine that it's your browser distribution. There are export
restrictions on certain levels of encryption. You may have inadvertently
downloaded a distro for another country. Just try downloading your
browser again.
