Hello,
Since implementing automatic certificate generation in Agate and choosingEd25519 as the default algorithm over ECDSA [1], I have received multiplecomplaints about server operators not being able to connect to their ownservers because clients seemingly did not support this signing algorithm.
Some that were mentioned by name were Ariane, Deedum and portal.mozz.us.I have to agree with Stéphane that this should not be the case, and otherpeople raised concerns about which TLS libraries are used as well.
Although I will most likely have to switch the default algorithm to ECDSAsince support for Ed25519 seems so bad, please check if a browser thatyou maintain (or the library it uses respectively) does support Ed25519.If it does not, please reconsider the library choice.
Regards,Johann
[1] The reasoning being mainly derived from what followed in this thread:<https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/006134.html>
It would be interesting to see if this has made any impact towards quantitative usage of Ed25519 according to Lupa.-------------- next part --------------A non-text attachment was scrubbed...Name: OpenPGP_0xA4EFCC5A6174FB0F.ascType: application/pgp-keysSize: 3131 bytesDesc: OpenPGP public keyURL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20210408/0bb8ebc2/attachment-0001.bin>-------------- next part --------------A non-text attachment was scrubbed...Name: OpenPGP_signatureType: application/pgp-signatureSize: 840 bytesDesc: OpenPGP digital signatureURL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20210408/0bb8ebc2/attachment-0001.sig>
