- | Before generating a key pair using PuTTYgen, you need to select which type of key you need. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The current version of the SSH protocol, SSH-2, supports several different key types, although specific servers may not support all of them. PuTTYgen can generate: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ··* An RSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol. | + | |
- | ··* A DSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol. | + | |
- | * An ECDSA (elliptic curve %%DSA%%) key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol. | + | |
- | * An EdDSA key (Edwards-curve DSA, another elliptic curve algorithm) for use with the %%SSH-%%2 protocol. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | PuTTYgen can also generate an %%RSA%% key suitable for use with the old %%SSH-1%% protocol (which only supports %%RSA%%); for this, you need to select the //%%SSH-1%% (%%RSA%%)// option. Since the %%SSH-1%% protocol is no longer considered secure, it's rare to need this option. | + | |
