There is a BSI ( the german cybersecurity agency ) guideline for german
corps and gov entities, which states, that 2048 bit RSA keys, for any
purpose,
should not be used anymore in 2022.
Although, it's an EllipticCurve Key, so it's long enough. I did not
considers this in my answere, my fault.
Can you state, why you think, that this 2048 bit key is only used for
authentication, rather than for TLS encryption? I think, it is used, as
it's presented on port 25.
