It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

If you mean SSH RSA finger print, than it is used to verify the host, so if you accept fingerprint once (you should check if it is real one from your machine), than you will be warned if it is changed. Than you can avoid eg. man in the middle attacks. In my opinion, does not matter what kind of finger print is used, but RSA is kind of standard on unix machines. | ||||
