The -t option sets the key type that ssh-keygen will make.  These days
it you can choose from DSA, ECDSA, RSA, or Ed25519.  Any except DSA
ought to be ok.  If you run into a dongle or helper application which
has trouble with Ed25519, then you could file a bug report and ug make
an RSA key (with enough bits) for that one instead.
