It's only old RSA1 keys which use SHA1 which are not accepted by default. RSA keys which use a SHA2 algorithm are perfectly acceptable. Though you may use ECDSA or ED25519 keys instead. > Can anybody point me to that?

The public key seems awfully short. They don't need to be as large as an RSA key to have similar strength. Though there are reasonable concerns regarding ECDSA. Refer to the "Concerns" section of the Wikipedia page for a starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm#Security Or, if you're really into diving in the weeds: https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/ ;) One possible downside to ED25519 is that it's not as widely supported. But unless you depend on some rather old systems, that's not likely a real issue. -- Todd
