-------------------------------
Summary: Add support for CTR ciphers
Key: SSHD-180
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-180
Project: MINA SSHD
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Scott Dial
CBC ciphers are considered vulnerable[1]. It's now recommended practice to
prefer CTR ciphers, and some security guidelines even require disabling CBC
ciphers[2]. Since Gerrit use this library of code, it means that Gerrit is
unusable in these environments.
Unless I am mistaken, CTR ciphers are supported already by JCE, so this should
be a straight-forward patch that is mostly copy/pasting of the AES*CBC cipher
code.
