Hi, I noticed OpenBSD anon CVS SSH fingerprints have the bit length published with the algorithm type: http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html
A couple of other popular non-OpenBSD sites omit the bit length: 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48 (RSA) ad:1c:08:a4:40:e3:6f:9c:f5:66:26:5d:4b:33:5d:8c (DSA) https://help.github.com/articles/what-are-github-s-ssh-key-fingerprints/ 97:8c:1b:f2:6f:14:6b:5c:3b:ec:aa:46:46:74:7c:40 (RSA) 35:ee:d7:b8:ef:d7:79:e2:c6:43:9e:ab:40:6f:50:74 (DSA) https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Use+the+SSH+protocol+with+Bitbucket#UsetheSSHprotocolwithBitbucket-KnownhostorBitbucket%27spublickeyfingerprints Maybe the default length for the algorithm is implied if not stated? The bit length doesn't appear in the known_hosts file. Is it important to have the bit length published with the fingerprint? -- Craig Skinner | http://twitter.com/Craig_Skinner | http://linkd.in/yGqkv7
