- EthanHeilman 8y agoThat happens rather frequently. I think RPKI will be adopted but it will be a slow process like IPv6 adoption.
- peterwwillis 8y agoI recently went around to the most popular websites with ssh-keygen guides, trying to get them to update their documentation to use the -o option. (Hint: your private key password may be vulnerable to brute-force) The only people that ignored or refused to update their docs were corporations and large institutions. I believe now that these kind of organizations simply will never do what they should be doing on their own accord, until someone/something forces them to. Regular-old corporate laziness aside, the legal issues behind who manages the CAs will probably need to get resolved before anyone in RIPE even begins to implement RPKI.
- jessaustin 8y agoCan you recommend a "canonical" ssh-keygen guide?
- peterwwillis 8y agoSadly, no, nothing out there is comprehensive (Arch Linux's SSH keys article is not bad, but still pretty limited). There's always the manual: https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen
