Thanks for the pre-release version. Works like a charm.

@prikryl

I've tested multiple Logins with a ECDSA-Key
All Logins works fine

thanks for Integration the new algo!

There's still no PuTTY release with ECDSA support.

That's really a pity. Fortunately FileZilla is supporting ECDSA so I had to switch to it. It is really a shame that several SSH/SFTP-app-providers wait that long implementing that badly needed (for instance for embedded devices) ECDSA support.

I aggree - the Putty BETAs are a Long time stable versions ;)

I have no Problems with the current putty beta version

I don't blame you, but PuTTY is pretty slow for new releases (0.64 came two years after 0.63, and that one two years after 0.62, possible 0.65 might be soon-ish with the ECDSA though I guess), though worth noting by all intents even 0.64 despite being the latest "stable" release is still technically a beta :P

But yeah it'd be cool to see some support for it if possible, so far I've had no issues with them in PuTTY alone across multiple distros so at the very least puttygen is creating the general details properly, I'd assume getting the .ppk it generates working in WinSCP wouldn't be too horrible?

With PuTTY having this in snapshots quite a few months now and puttygen even having a .ppk export option in what I assume they figure would be the proper import model for an ECDSA key, is there any chance of this actually being implemented soon in WinSCP or is there still a wait for it to come out in a 'Stable' PuTTY release?

Yes, 0.65 are still in Test - ECDSA will be included in the next release

But note they deliberately did not include ECDSA into recent PuTTY 0.64 release. I'm sure there's a reason for that.

We will takeover the implementation then. Thanks.

@prikryl
Putty has released full SSH2-ECDSA support in there current nightly snapshot. (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html)

I can't find SSH2-ECDSA support in your current version or in your project roadmap.
Is there any Status to SSH2-ECDSA support?

Sure, but are these (Russian and other) alternatives available in OpenSSH, OpenSSL or GnuTLS?

There are many different parameters of elliptic curves.
Some appeared in the work in 1998.
There are parameters of elliptic curves generated not in the United States .
There are Russian version where in the formulas are slightly different coefficients and parameters of their curves.
All formulas and algorithms have long existed and analyzing it is described how to generate the most options for elliptic curves .
However, 25519 appeared not long ago, the formula calculations there several others, and I have not seen this work on cryptanalysis " works of art" . And almost all implementations in assembler.
So if anyone does not believe it is 25519 . This is my personal opinion.

I read there is a growing concern about elliptic-curve cryptography and that the curves in the current standards have been "influenced" by NSA - to what end we can only guess.

Unless you are thinking of Curve25519, it may be wise to be conservative and stick to RSA with high bit encryption. ref: https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/tree/doc/curve25519-sha256@libssh.org.txt
