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 ?

    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
