Hello all,
I was wondering if CAST5 encryption is currently being added the
openssh? It's a steller block cipher. No one's found any weaknesses
in it yet and it's free for non profit use.

What benefit would CAST5 give over 3DES (excellent security but slow) or Blowfish (fast)? A couple of other things constrain us as well: we don't want to have to change the SSH protocol and we would prefer support for any new ciphers in OpenSSL first. -d -- | "Bombay is 250ms from New York in the new world order" - Alan Cox | Damien Miller - http://www.mindrot.org/ | Email: djm at mindrot.org (home) -or- djm at ibs.com.au (work)

They've been really restrictive about no encumbered algorithms (like RSA) and you've just said this was encumbered for commercial use.> TTYL> JLC > --> #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj > $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 > lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) > - I'm an international arms trafficker > Explained: http://jlcooke.net/perlrsaMike -- Michael H.
