- agwa 11y agoIf you have experience with RSA key pairs, using ed25519 key pairs is easy. To generate a key pair just run: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 As with RSA, this command generates a public and private key file. Put the public key in the authorized_keys file on the server side. You'll need OpenSSH 6.4 on both the server and the client side. If you have an older version, I would not recommend upgrading outside of your operating system's normal upgrade channel because then you'll be responsible for security updates. Instead I would wait until your operating system has it.
- toothbrush 11y agoIt amounts to doing this: $ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 As usual, on the server, you do something like $ cat generated-key.pub >> ~you/.ssh/authorized_keys EDIT: sibling post was quicker off the bat. Oh well, that'll teach me to not refresh a tab :p
