ssh - rsa/dsa question.


Hi,

Figured out how to use ssh properly now, all my trials were conducted using rsa (ssh-keygen -t rsa, and on) would it be different if i used dsa instead?

are there any major differences between those two?

thanks a lot.

You should have no problems at all changing to a DSA key. I think the only difference between RSA/DSA are the encryption methods. Which one is better? I don't know.

FWIW: I've been using the same DSA generated key for years now without any problems.
