In the future, maybe Dropbear should just be replaced by OpenSSH.
As far as my understanding goes Dropbear is smaller than OpenSSh
Correct, dropbear has a smaller footprint than OpenSSH. Also to note, WolfSSL has a smaller footprint than OpenSSL. The focus is to offer a specific set of same default features for all supported devices. Embedded Linux is not Desktop Linux. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

you can generate key's in many different ways, using linux, puttygen or whatever...
but gen those on router side is cool future to have too...
Win 10/11 has Openssh built-in now.
Found this a bit outdated article while using Google Search. It compared Dropbear, TinySSH & OpenSSH. It's just for reference.

Where do you think ed25519 support came from in the original dropbear? An article from 2016 is not very relevant after 6 years of ongoing development. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
