Hello,
The Ed25519 signature algorithm has been implemented in OpenSSH. RFC
4255 defines a DNS resource record, "SSHFP", which can be used to
publish a fingerprint of the SSH server publickey in the
DNS. draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519-01 ) is a
request for a code point assignment for ED25519 in the SSHFP RR Types
for public key algorithms registry. The draft has received comments
in SAAG and (IRTF) CFRG:

I responded to the comments. There hasn't been any objections. It
seems to me that the Security Area Director is a bit slow in
processing this request for a code point assignment. I would
appreciate if some information could be provided to explain the delay.
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
