Android SSH client planning

We're currently using the original implementation of JSch by JCraft: http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/

There are some issues with this implementation:

  • There hasn't been a new release since November 2018.
  • Newer signature algorithms such as rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 are not available

Other options

  • Fork of JSch by mwiede
    • Almost drop-in replacement for current JSch
    • Requires Java version 15 for some newer algorithms
    • More information at this blog entry
  • sshj
    • Actively developed
    • Would require a rewrite due to the different API
