Hey everyone,
I tried using ECDSA keys with the current stable version (6.45.6) of RouterOS and the import failed.
I guess it is not possible to use this key type in RouterOS, which is problematic for us.
OpenSSH supports ECDSA since version 5.7 which was released 2011.
Since ECDSA was implemented for certificates and ike2 in release 6.45.1 I am hopeful that this feature will be implemented for ssh as well.
Is there another way, except for using RSA keys, until this is added?
DSA keys are supported as well, but I guess you do not want to use these, no?
The forum has some threads asking for ED25519 keys, but Mikrotik did not give any reaction.
Support for ed25519 and ECC in general would really be helpful. RSA is on its way out for a while already.
Support for ed25519 is really necessary
Guys, do you have newer information about the support of ECDSA keys in ROS 7?
One of the 7.7beta versions introduced support for ed25519 key exchange.
As of now neither ed25519 host keys nor ed25519 public key authentication is supported. I hope we will see this soon…
