Great writeup! This helped clear some things up.

How do you upgrade the signature algorithm? Is that something that requires upgrading software? Or is it a matter of regenerating your public/private key with a new algorithm?

The best option is upgrade OpenSSH in the server.

If you can't upgrade the server, you can create new keys using ed25519, or ecdsa.

ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -a 64 -b 384
