ssh-keygen
	-t ed25519 - for greatest security (bits are a fixed size and -b flag will be ignored)
	-t rsa  - for greatest portability (key needs to be greater than 4096 bits)
	-t ecdsa - faster than RSA or DSA  (bits can only be 256, 284, or 521)
	-t dsa  - DEEMED INSECURE - DSA limted to 1024 bit key as specified by FIPS 186-2, No longer allowed by default in OpenSSH 7.0+
	-t rsa1 - DEEMED INSECURE - has weaknesses and shouldn't be used (used in protocol 1)

	-b 4096 bit size
	-a 500 rounds (should be no smaller than 64, result in slower passphrase verification and increased resistance to brute-force password cracking)
	-C "First.Last@somewhere.com" comment..
