Present Multiple Host Keys - RSA and ECDSA

As with standard Linux servers today Secure Proxy should be able to present Host Keys (more than one) in both RSA and ECDSA formats depending on what type the vendor incoming connection supports. Vendors are demanding Host Keys that are stronger than RSA (ECDSA) while other vendors don't yet support ECDSA Host Keys.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

Vendor X Security team demands ECDSA Host Key - Vendor Y doesn't support ECDSA yet - both get the Host key that is compatible with their connection request type/version.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    We have reviwed this with development however this needs more investigation which will be done in coming weeks. We will get back with a response once we complete our internal investigation.

    Thanks,
