Crypto is currently using MD5 for ssh key fingerprint and sha1 for x509 fingerprints. I can't find this documented anywhere, it probably should be. As stated in the bug, would it be best to document the hash algorithm used in the fingerprint field?
Adding more fingerprint types to the keypairs is a possibility in the future. I'm not sure how urgent it is though, given that sha-1 is still in use for fingerprints.
