#8 Forwarding sockets

2020-07-10T13:41:02.934000Z

Nice @matez, does this fully support it though?

local port => remote socket
local socket => remote socket
local socket => remote port
remote port => local socket
remote socket => local socket
remote socket => local port

From a quick look it seems you are only providing a small subset.

Move to github

2019-11-27T09:42:14.683000Z

I don't really know much about how developing software on sourceforge and for JSch works. and it probably worked great in the earlier years.
But currently i think it would help the project to move to github.

I think it probably does everything sourceforge does. It would make it easier to develop and contribute. I don't even know where to find the sourcecode to add a feature to it and how to push my changes.

#7 Add support for Ed25519 keys and bcrypt KDF format

2019-11-27T09:38:22.815000Z

Would really love to see this change, because juice-ssh seems to rely on that to be working first in jsch.

Signature with an external private key

2019-01-12T15:07:10.951000Z

I'm working on a Public Key Authentication where the private key is located outside the apllication space (smartcard-like behavior). There is the beautiful Identity class for this which has the getSignature() method. But all Signature classes have only setPrvKey(byte[] e, byte[] n) method so I have to go tricky way to initialize the Signature object with my PrivateKey. At the same time current setPubKey method internally creates object of the same class (PrivateKey) to use java.security.Signature.

Suggestion:
Include setPrvKey(PrivateKey prvKey) method to avoid tricky overrides.
And the same about KeyPair clasess (if possible).

Multiple forwardings per session

2018-11-15T01:47:47.981000Z

Please support adding multiple forwardings per session.
There are SSH server configurations that restrict how often you can login concurrently into the same account or all-over.
If you need three forwards to the same host, you currently have to open three sessions.
Would be nice if it were possible in just one session.

Forwarding sockets

2018-11-15T01:45:45.363000Z

Would be nice if JSch also supports forwarding sockets, not only ports.
Currently you can only forward from port to port in JSch, but SSH now can do from port to socket, from socket to port, from port to port and from port to socket.

Add support for Ed25519 keys and bcrypt KDF format

2015-12-15T15:59:16.994000Z

OpenSSH 6.5 (January 2014) introduced Ed25519 keys in bcrypt KDF format due to security and perfomance advantages. This format is now becoming widely used and is expectable to become the de-facto standard for new keys. Therefore JSch should follow along and implement it.

There is already at least one pure Java implementation of Ed25519, in use for i2p: ed25519-java.
