GnuPG / GPG how create an EdDSA key !? [ SOLVED ]
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 ?
I remember on some distros I had to add
--expert, never checked why. Maybe was an old version.gpg --expert --full-gen-keyThank you @[email protected] ! it works !
I'm wondering whats is the option: (9) ECC and ECC ?? I found nothing in their documentation :/
I had the same issue so wrote this down when I figured it out
Generate ultimate key
Add sub key
List keys in long format
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?
Unless 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.I was thinking you were talking about 2048
Does GPG support it?
Isn't it the default?
Edit: I was mixing up 2048 with 4096
