What do you use for your SSH key. RSA? Just curious. As far as I know RSA and DSA are the only options for SSH, or is that wrong?

- contingencies 13y agoLooks like you are right. The ssh-keygen manpage reports: The possible values are 'rsa1' for protocol version 1 and 'rsa' or 'dsa' for protocol version 2.
- leokun 13y agoI installed openssh from homebrew dupes and just upgraded my key to ecdsa. Now to update all the things. Github doesn't support this yet so I put a special line in my .ssh/config to use my old key with github.com
- MichaelSalib 13y agoRecent versions of SSH (6.1p1 on Ubuntu 13.04) support ECDSA, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_DSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_DSA Unfortunately, gnome-keyring-daemon can't deal with those keys...grrr.
- zx2c4 13y agoAs of GnuPG 2.0.21, gpg-agent can deal with ECDSA keys, which is quite nice.
