SSHKeyTypes Enumeration


List of available key types used by wodKeys.NET.

Remarks

SSH2 protocol specification defines RSA cipher as default, and it should be supported by all clients/servers, so it is advised you should use it. However, there are servers that prefer newer algorithms to be used, such as EC (Elliptic Curve algorithms) or ED25519.
Generate and Load methods support all of these types.

List of available key types used by wodKeys.NET:

Constant Description
RSAkey Uses RSA algorithm to create keys.
DSAkey Uses DSA algorithm to create keys.
EDkey Uses ED25519 algorithm to create keys.
ECkey Uses EC algorithms (nistp256, nistp384, nistp521) to create keys.
