Re: [PIV Manager] generate 4096bit keys for gen4 yubikeys

NIST does not yet specify 4096 as a supported algorithm. Until that happens, a 4096 RSA option will not be added to the PIV Manager. The hardware itself is capable of 4096 (Docker uses 4096). OpenPGP also supports 4096 RSA.

[PIV Manager] generate 4096bit keys for gen4 yubikeys

2016-02-03T01:35:02+01:00

well it was advertised that the yubikey4 (and the 4nano) offers 4096 bit keys.

but the key generation assisatant (which is surely a nice choice because your private key goes directly to the yubikey, (or at least it should)) doesnt offer 4096bit keys but for some or another really weird reason I can generate 1024 bit keys, even though those are REALLY bad and discouraged everywhere.

so might it be possible for the PIV Manager to make 4k keys?
