Support for more modern crypto schemes

Open creshal opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

ECDSA/Curve25519 for KEX, SHA2 as MAC and AES-GCM/ChaCha20 as cipher are getting more widespread, and I'd rather not drag along the old baggage on my servers for backwards compatibility with FireFTP (like we did with SSL3…).

I know this is far from a small request, but it'll be necessary sooner or later. The reduced CPU load from ed25519 would be a nice side effect, as FireFTP is cripplingly slow right now.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, I'd like to add this as well. I'm very busy these days, so in the meantime patches are happily accepted! A good place to start is: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/
