Probably. As I said elsewhere, this is subject to the caveat that sometimes you need the performance characteristics of ECC; I'm providing advice for general-purpose computing environments which do not have any such constraints.
- lisper 12y agoNot that I really feel comfortable challenging you on anything crypto related, but it seems to me that Ed25519 is superior to RSA in every conceivable way even for general-purpose computing environments. It's more performant, easier to generate keys, the signatures are shorter, and there are fewer ways to shoot yourself in the foot (e.g. no padding issues). Is there a reason you don't actively advocate it other than the fact that it's not widely used?
