+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.
