It should be compatible with the original patch. However I think that the shared secret should be encoded as a string, too.

Hi Kaushal, I maintain a set of SSH hardening guides for various platforms, including RHEL 8. You can find them here: https://ssh-audit.com/hardening_guides.html - Joe -- Joseph S.

Hi, In a recent security review some systems I manage were flagged due to supporting "weak" ciphers, specifically the ones listed below. So first question is are people generally modifying the list of ciphers supported by the ssh client and sshd? On CentOS 6 currently it looks like if I remove all the ciphers they are concerned about then I am left with Ciphers

Dear OpenSSH developers, I've worked this week on an alternative key exchange mechanism, in reaction to the whole NSA leaks and claims over cryptographic backdoors and/or cracking advances. The key exchange is in my opinion the most critical defense against passive eavesdropping attacks. I believe Curve25519 from DJB can give users a secure alternative to classical Diffie-Hellman (with fixed

Here are three versions (patch against openbsd cvs) 1) repace nacl w/libsodium, so i could test 2) curve25519-donna 3) Matthew's public domain reference implementation. i'd vote for #3 -------------- next part -------------- Am 30.10.2013 um 07:27 schrieb Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org>: > On Tue, 24 Sep 2013, Aris Adamantiadis wrote: > >> Dear OpenSSH

I have developed a compact at the same time high performance library for curve25519/ed25519 and I have placed it in the public domain. It support DH key exchange as well as ed25519 keygen, sign and verify. The implementation is constant-time, supports blinding, bulk-verify and more. The library is available as portable-C as well as ASM for Intel-x64 CPUs. It outperforms curve25519-donna by a

Hi, So I screwed up when writing the support for the curve25519 KEX method that doesn't depend on OpenSSL's BIGNUM type - a bug in my code left leading zero bytes where they should have been skipped. The impact of this is that OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 will fail during key exchange with a peer that implements curve25519-sha256 at libssh.org properly about 0.2% of the time (one in every 512ish

See attached: (1) patch against 7.9p1, tested with openssl 1.1.0j and openssl 1.1.1a on linux/i386; passes regression test and connects to unpatched sshd without problems; I hacked a bit regress/unittests/kex, and benchmarked do_kex_with_key("curve25519-sha256 at libssh.org", KEY_ED25519, 256); Before: 0.3295s per call After: 0.2183s per call That is, 50% speedup; assuming

Hi, You will be aware of https://weakdh.org/ by now, I presume; the take-home seems to be that 1024-bit DH primes might well be too weak. I'm wondering what (if anything!) you propose to do about this issue, and what Debian might do for our users? openssh already prefers ECDH, which must reduce the impact somewhat, although the main Windows client (PuTTY) doesn't support ECDH yet. But
