SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms Property

A comma-separated list containing all allowable public key authentication algorithms.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Property SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms As String

[C#]
public string SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms {get; set;}

Remarks

SSH allows different algorithms to be negotiated for use when establishing the security layer of the connection. SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms controls the public key algorithm list supplied by the component to the SSHHost. It is a comma-separated list containing the names of public key algorithms as defined by section 6.6 of the SSH Transport Layer specification (RFC 4253).

The value of this property must be a comma-separated list containing one or more of the following values:

Note: the algorithms listed by this property control only the public key algorithm used when authenticating the SSHHost. In most SSH server implementations, this list has no bearing on the public key algorithms that can be used to authenticate the client.

Default Value

"ssh-rsa,ssh-dss"
