Hi,
I’ve seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg
gpg --full-gen-key
and it’s supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only
Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?\
gpg --version show:
…
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
…
Any idea what’s wrong ?
You must log in or register to comment.
I remember on some distros I had to add
--expert, never checked why. Maybe was an old version.gpg --expert --full-gen-keyUnless you’re working with embedded chips with very small storage space, I’d recommend 4098-bit RSA
8096 bit is safer long term as it should remain uncrackable for a longer time.
Does GPG support it?
What distro and version of that distro are you using? Did you install gpg from the repository or elsewhere? What version of gpg are you running?
