SSH keys are a pair of cryptographic keys - a public key and a private key.
The different types of SSH keys are RSA, ECDSA, and Ed25519.
RSA keys are widely accepted and supported, ECDSA keys are more efficient and have smaller key sizes, and Ed25519 keys are highly secure.
RSA keys are recommended for general purposes, ECDSA and Ed25519 keys are suitable for resource-constrained devices, and Ed25519 keys are recommended for high-security environments.
