Introduction to supporting ed25519 in net-ssh

As a programmer using net-ssh, you may have encountered the error message "NotImplementedError: ed25519 support only available when ED25519 is available in OpenSSH keys". This error occurs when net-ssh cannot handle a specific type of OpenSSH key, called ed25519.

To support ed25519 keys in net-ssh, you will need to install the following gem:

gem 'ed25519'

This gem is required for net-ssh to be able to handle ed25519 keys. Once you have installed the gem, you should be able to use ed25519 keys with net-ssh.

It is worth noting that ed25519 keys are considered to be more secure than traditional RSA keys, as they use a different algorithm for encryption. If you need to handle ed25519 keys in your application, be sure to install the ed25519 gem and update your net-ssh configuration accordingly.

In summary, to support ed25519 keys in net-ssh, you will need to:

• Install the ed25519 gem
• Update your net-ssh configuration to handle ed25519 keys

Once you have done this, your application should be able to handle ed25519 keys with ease.
