SSH key algorithms.

This type provides a registry of supported digital signature algorithms used for SSH keys.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

This enum is marked as non-exhaustive
Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Dsa

Digital Signature Algorithm

Ecdsa

Fields

curve: EcdsaCurve

Elliptic curve with which to instantiate ECDSA.

Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm

Ed25519

Ed25519

Rsa

Fields

hash: Option<HashAlg>

Hash function to use with RSASSA-PKCS#1v15 signatures as specified using RFC8332 algorithm identifiers.

If hash is set to None, then ssh-rsa is used as the algorithm name.

RSA

SkEcdsaSha2NistP256

FIDO/U2F key with ECDSA/NIST-P256 + SHA-256

SkEd25519

FIDO/U2F key with Ed25519
