2048 bits

…. From using Dbcs pdf.

Run the ssh-keygen utility, providing as filename your choice of file name for the
private key:
$ -b 2048 -t rsa -f filename

…. From ssh-keygen man page:

-b bits
Specifies the number of bits in the key to create. For RSA keys, the minimum size is 768 bits and the default is 2048 bits. Generally, 2048 bits is considered sufficient. DSA keys must be exactly 1024 bits as specified by FIPS 186-2.
