Upgrade your SSH keys
Something I don&#x27;t understand is the &quot;hate&quot; that RSA gets. Yeah, Elliptic Curves are promising, have benefits (smaller&#x2F;faster).<p>But RSA isn&#x27;t broken, it is well understood, is &quot;boring&quot; (a plus on security, usually), has bigger bit sizes (according to people that know a lot more to me that&#x27;s a plus point, regardless of EC requiring smaller ones, because of certain attacks), isn&#x27;t hyped and sponsored by the NSA and isn&#x27;t considered a bad choice by experts.<p>Not too many years ago Bruce Schneier was skeptical about EC, because of the NSA pushing for it. Now, I also trust djb and i an sure that ed25519 is a good cipher and there are many projects, like Tor that actually benefit from it, increasing throughput, etc., but for most use cases of SSH that might not be the issue, nor the bottleneck.<p>So from my naive, inexperienced point of view RSA might seem the more conservative option. And if I was worried about security I&#x27;d increase the bit size.<p>Am I going wrong here?
