OpenSSH’s ssh-keygen
command just got a great upgrade.
New video from @[email protected]
Edit:
She has a peertube channel: [email protected] and it federatess as a Lemmy Community
The Peertube video in Lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/8842820
tl;dw - ed25519 keys are now the default
Woah peertube federating with lemmy is actually really cool!
Isn’t elliptic curves cryptography sensitive to quantum computers attack? Shor’s algorithm etc
Yes, it is. ed25519 depends upon discrete log for its security, which Shor’s algorithm can (theoretically, of course, not like it’s ever been done) efficiently solve.
The post-quantum algorithms are in active research right now. I don’t blame anyone for avoiding those at least until we’ve quantum computers big enough to solve baby toy elliptic curves.
