Dashboard should give the possibility in the key creation to add ECDSA keys

Currently when creating SSH keys via the SBI dashboard ( Trading partner --> SSH --> Use Identity key --> create --> New user key ), only RSA and DSA keys encryption can be chosen.  But in the real world, companies require much higher and secure encryption.

As SBI does support better encryption formats, like ECDSA, it would be expected that this is also an option via the dashboard.  As the dashboard UI hasn't been updated, administrators need to create keys via the B2Bapi as a workaround

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Your request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme aligns with our current roadmap and, as such, is being tagged for future consideration. IBM may consider and evaluate any community feedback for your request through activities such as voting and we may reach out to you about this request to discuss additional details with you in the future.

    We are constantly upgrading our encryption formats as well as undertaking a large overhaul of the SFG UI, and ECDSA encryption is one of items we intend to add to one of our future releases.

    Dashboard should also allow for key lengths greater than 2048 when creating keys and self-signed certificates
