Key length macOS 10.15 requires that TLS server certificates and issuing CAs using RSA keys must use key sizes greater than or equal to 2048.

• OpenSSH 7.6
  • Refuse RSA keys <1024 bits in length and improve reporting for keys that do not meet this requirement.
• OpenSSH 4.2: September 1, 2005 https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.2
  • Increase the default size of new RSA/DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen from 1024 to 2048 bits.
