Google here officially announced that using SSL is minor ranking factor. On that page is, besides other rules, stated to Use 2048-bit key certificates.
Does it mean that using 224-bit key ECC certificate will not have positive impact on SERP ranking because the key is not "long enough" ? It seems that ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) certificates have some nice benefits (e.g. less server CPU usage and less bandwidth used, etc..).
I would like to use ECC certificates, but I fear it will not help me with Google. Or maybe I am too concerned and Google accepts any trusted SSL certificate and doesn't care about key size at all ?

It will help you with google. They like SSL certificates. Google has been telling webmasters it is safe to do so for years. But you need to take the proper steps to ensure your traffic doesn’t suffer. That means make sure to communicate to Google that you moved your site from HTTP to HTTPS.
But you need to make sure that you follow this directives.
Decide the kind of certificate you need: single, multi-domain, or
wildcard certificate
Use 2048-bit key certificates
Use relative URLs for resources that reside on the same secure domain
Use protocol relative URLs for all other domains
