OpenSSH and ed25519

Anyone using ed25519 yet? Any drawbacks?

  • Yes, much shorter :) Drawbacks? Yes, but that was a few years ago when it wasn't widely supported.

    It's all good now.

    For domain registrations, create an account at Dynadot (ref) and spend $9.99 within 48 hours to receive $5 DynaDollars!
    Looking for cost-effective Managed/Anycast/DDoS-Protected/Geo DNS Services? Try ClouDNS (aff).

  • Yup. Exclusively.

    Prefer using non-mainstream stuff due to this:

    Slightly different issue, but concern is the same

  • Yes
    Drawback: aws doesn't support it until now :)

    Been using it for a long time now, nice and short which is great.

    PureVoltage - Custom Dedicated Servers Dual E5-2680v3 64gb ram 1TB nvme 100TB/10g $145
    New York Colocation - Amazing pricing 1U-48U+

  • Silly question but somehow real one - I may have misunderstood something.
    Why short would matter?
