'"Seriously, Stop Using RSA" for Dummies' please!
e.g. for a fullstacker who spins up the latest Ubuntu LTS then generates a pair of 4,096-bit RSA keys using default openssh-server set over a high-number TCP port, what should they be doing that is different?
- Chyzwar 5y agoed25519 can be generated as easily as RSA (ssh-keygen -t ed25519). Resulted keys are faster, shorter and possibly more secure than RSA.
- doublepg23 5y agoI attempted to switch to ed25519 OpenSSH keys in 2017 and support was pretty dreadful. Ended going back to rsa4096 just for compatibility :(
