[lugm.org] OpenSSH New key format: ED25519

[Loganaden Velvindron]

We've just added the missing piece to get ED25519 working for the upcoming OpenSSH 6.5 release:

CVSROOT: /var/cvs
Module name: openssh
Changes by: djm at fuyu.mindrot.org 13/12/07 21:43:47

Modified files:
. : ChangeLog Makefile.in

Log message:
- (djm) [Makefile.in] PATHSUBS and keygen bits for Ed25519; from
Loganaden Velvindron @ AfriNIC in bz#2179


What's does this Key offer ? The design is better as it doesn't depend on any source of predictable
number generator(s), unlike ECDSA/DSA.

ED25519 design has not been influenced by the NSA or NIST.

We strongly urge OpenSSH users to consider switching to the new key when OpenSSH 6.5 will be released.

Kind regards,
//Logan
