For each key, the list box will tell you: For each key, the list box will tell you:
-  * The type of the key. Currently, this can be ''ssh-rsa'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), ''ssh-dss'' (a DSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), or ''ssh1'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-1 protocol).+  * The type of the key. Currently, this can be ''ssh-rsa'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), ''ssh-dss'' (a DSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ecdsa-sha2-*'' (an ECDSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), or ''ssh-ed25519'' (an Ed25519 key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol) or ''ssh1'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-1 protocol).
  * The size (in bits) of the key.   * The size (in bits) of the key.
  * The fingerprint for the public key. This should be the same fingerprint given by [[ui_puttygen|PuTTYgen]], and also the same fingerprint shown by remote utilities such as ''ssh-keygen'' when applied to your ''authorized_keys'' file.   * The fingerprint for the public key.
