TL;DR: It’ll use a new, more secure key type.
Woah peertube federating with lemmy is actually really cool!
tl;dw - ed25519 keys are now the default
i don’t think I’ve created an RSA key since 2017
I had to create one this year after discovering that connectbot (ssh client on Android) didn’t support agent forwarding otherwise.
Probably a good idea to look for a different client, call me tinfoil but I wouldn’t want to touch a very old mechanism that is supported/pushed by a very recognisable 3 letter agency
I’ve just started using SSH inside of Termux, got tired of all the weird pitfalls SSH Clients for Android usually have
Probably. It’s in f-droid but increasingly looking not quite unmaintained, but not developed actively enough.
Isn’t elliptic curves cryptography sensitive to quantum computers attack? Shor’s algorithm etc
