Did you mean cert exchange, because keys are just a very long password, but certs carry actual information about the holder (err, I guess pedantically of the holder with the key)

> Did you mean cert exchange, because keys are just a very long password My experience differs: My private key is only 256 bits (32 bytes, which base64 encodes up to 44 characters, if you use padding). My typical passwords are 40-64 characters (unless stupid requirements force me to go shorter).

  What algorithm are you using? RSA keys are normally at least 2048 bits in length.

    I'd put money on Ed25519[1][2]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA#Ed25519 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA#Ed25519 [2]: https://www.iana.org/assignments/jose/jose.xhtml#web-signature-encryption-algorithms https://www.iana.org/assignments/jose/jose.xhtml#web-signatu...

    Why would I use RSA when Ed25519 is right there?
