DSA removal from OpenSSH

by

The OpenSSH project
has
announced
the timeline for the removal of
DSA support from OpenSSH:

[…]
OpenSSH plans to remove support for DSA keys in the near future. This
message describes our rationale, process and proposed timeline.

Rationale
---------

DSA, as specified in the SSHv2 protocol, is inherently weak - being
limited to a 160 bit private key and use of the SHA1 digest. Its
estimated security level is <=80 bits symmetric equivalent[1][2].

OpenSSH has disabled DSA keys by default since 2015 but has retained
optional support for them. DSA is the only mandatory-to-implement
algorithm in the SSHv2 RFCs[3], mostly because alternative algorithms
were encumbered by patents when the SSHv2 protocol was designed and
specified.
[…]
In summary:

2024/01 - this announcement
2024/03 (estimated) - DSA compile-time optional, enabled by default
2024/06 (estimated) - DSA compile-time optional, *disabled* by default
2025/01 (estimated) - DSA is removed from OpenSSH

Please read the
announcement message
for full details.
