+You can also use elliptic-curve DSA.  The key-generation runes are more
+complicated in this case.  For example,

+@example
+key -k /etc/become/become.key add -aec -Cnist-p256 -e"now + 1 year" \
+    become sig=ecdsa hash=sha256
+@end example
+The @code{hash=sha256} is not required, but it's good to have a hash function
+as strong as your curve.  See the manpage for @code{key} for more details
+about generating elliptic curve keys, and for the kinds of curves supported.

 If you have multiple servers, they can all have different private keys.
 You'll need to put all of the public keys in the
 @file{/etc/become/become.pubkey} file.
