summary: Implement SSH-2 RSA key exchange class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement. difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them. priority: medium: This should be fixed one day. fixed-in: r7496 dad558a1e59c059b7f3436a4865b5e4e17c59539 2007-05-01 (0.61)
RFC 4432
(formerly draft-harris-ssh-rsa-kex) defines a means to use RSA key
exchange in SSH-2 (similar to SSH-1's key exchange, but without the
other disadvantages of SSH-1). This might be particularly suitable for
slow client systems.
SGT, 2012-06-22: Perhaps this is as good a place as any to keep
a list of known server-side implementations.
OpenSSH bug #1314
includes a patch which adds RSA key exchange to OpenSSH, although the
OpenSSH maintainers decided not to integrate it in the end.
MouSSH
supports RSA key exchange. (It looks as if the FTP link here is the
most convenient way to get MouSSH: you'll need the contents of that
directory and several libraries in directories alongside it –
see the INSTALL file for a list – and I haven't
personally confirmed that it compiles and works.)
The
mod_sftp
module for
ProFTPD
is documented as supporting RSA key exchange. (But it looks as if you
can't do anything except SFTP over the resulting connection.)
