I've generated an SSH key specifically for blackberry-connect.

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "test@example.com"

...

Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/chrisseaton/.ssh/id_rsa): /Users/chrisseaton/.ssh/test@example.com

...

When I try to use this with blackberry-connect I'm told it's not long enough.

$ blackberry-connect 192.168.1.74 -password whenthegatesfell -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/test\@example.com.pub

Error: Connection refused: Provided ssh key is too small (4096-bit minimum).
Error: Unable to send ssh key to target

Version 1.2.0, on OS X.

I'm using blackberry-connect because I want to use adb and logcat to debug a problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Same problem, looking for an answer...

use parameter -b 4096 

ex: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "rischanlab@gmail.com" -b 4096

Not sure what you mean - in my post I said that I used that parameter when generating the key. What are you suggesting I do differently?

i got the same problem with you, but this solution worked. https://gist.github.com/diorahman/4334311

my device is BB10 dev alpha 

maybe you can try again, backup your .ssh folder and generate new key :-D
