>RFC 6594, section 4.1.:
>   SSHFP-aware Secure Shell implementations SHOULD support the SHA-256
>   fingerprints for verification of the public key.  Secure Shell
>   implementations that support SHA-256 fingerprints MUST prefer a SHA-
>   256 fingerprint over SHA-1 if both are available for a server.  If
>   the SHA-256 fingerprint is tested and does not match the SSH public
>   key received from the SSH server, then the key MUST be rejected
>   rather than testing the alternative SHA-1 fingerprint.
