Can RIPE staff clarify if there are plans to support PGP authentication
of database updates using ed25519 keys?
This should require not much more that upgrading gnupg to a modern release.

We've supported the ed25519 algorithm since Whois 1.93, released in March this year. All that should be necessary is to create a key-cert object containing your public key.

We're currently using Bouncy Castle 1.60 internally, any algorithms supported by this library should work: https://www.bouncycastle.org/releasenotes.html
