Subject: ECC support in SSH
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 17:50:01 +0100
Hi,

After looking at the ssh documentation I couldn't find support for ECC 
(Elliptic Curve Cryptography). Doing a web-based search also showed no 
modules that can be incorporated into ssh. Are there any current versions of 
ssh, or projects involving ECC for SSH? ECC not only offers more crypto 
strength in a smaller key length than RSA, but is regarded as being faster 
and requiring less processing power. The added bonus is that ECC technology 
is available free of charge, so could it be possible there are no 
implementation or patches for OpenSSH?

Regards,

Tomek
