Using Elliptical Curve Cryptography in OpenSSH
Martin Paul Eve · 2011
Having read two great posts on OpenSSH best practices, I decided today that I wanted to upgrade my SSH key architecture to use Elliptical Curve Cryptography. There were several gotchas involved that I thought it would be worth sharing here. There are, at the time of writing, no packages for Fedora 15 or Debian stable that I could find, so I've worked from source. Getting ECC working on some systems can be a bit of a pain.
