ED25519 supported in NB29?

[GeVanCo]

Hi,

I was wondering if ED25519 keys are already supported by NB (I just started to use NB29) to set up a password-less remote connection (in my case, to a Raspberry Pi).
I'm currently still using an RSA key but those are bit by bit replaced by ED25519.

Best,

you could give NB 30 a try which should be released soon. (release candidates are available). It ships with newer cryptographic libraries, however you didn't mention what kind of connection you had in mind which makes the question difficult to answer.

To come back on the connection question you had: I'm using NB to develop my Java programs on a Windows machine and want to run/debug them on a Raspberry Pi (3B+). I used to use NB8.1/NB8.2 (worked great, by the way) and wanted to switch to NB29 but then I saw that Nashorn was not supported anymore and had to come back to NB12.6 (which I'm using now and again works great to debug my applications running on the RPi).
I then tried to use ED25519 as SSH key and saw this was not possible at all.
Hence, my question to see if ED25519 was possibly supported on a more recent version. NB30, it seems.
