Hi,
Our system restricts usage of RSA when running in secured crypto mode (FIPS/ Common criteria).
In latest release, the dehydrated by default uses RSA for account creation, is it possible to provide ECDSA support for account creation.

Experimental support has been implemented. Would be great if some people could test it. For now ACCOUNT_KEY_ALGO has to be set in the config before registering an account. Documentation / Example configuration will follow when it's proven stable.
