Hi everybody,

I am a bit out of the loop as far as cryptography algorithms and recommended key sizes are concerned. I have been using the same ssh and gpg keys for a long time.

However, I need to generate a few new keys (both ssh and gpg) that should meet high security standards (private use, but paranoid) and was wondering what options are the most common and recommended ones you are using today?

Thanks a lot to everybody in advance!

      RSA4096 has a bit of an edge over ed25519 both in effective key size as well as support by things like YubiKeys and other HSMs that is beneficial for GPG but not really helpful for SSH.
