[Feature Request] - ECDSA & EDSA SSH Key Support For SCP #103

Closed tuxruffian closed 2 years ago

tuxruffian commented 2 years ago

Description

While RSA is still used, it's old, has been subject to several vulnerabilities, and is gradually being phased out in favor of superior cryptography. I would propose support for the following two SSH key types that are supported by OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and GnuTLS:

  1. ECDSA (ecdsa-sha2-nistp256): This is the NIST standard for FIPS compliant systems.
  2. EDSA (ed25519): This high performance implementation is extremely secure and favored by many modern applications. (e.g. Wireguard, Facebook Messenger, iOS, TOR, WhatsApp, Monero, etc.) It will also comply with FIPS 186-5.

An analysis has been planned for this feature during the next development cycle.

These kinds of keys are already supported by termscp, so there's no need for any kind of implementation. Just paste the private key into the ssh key configuration 😉

Are you sure? Because still get authentication failed (could not find any suitable RSA key to authenticate with) for termscp 0.13.0.
