Hello All,
I would like to announce immediate availability of PKIX-SSH release 10.2.
With this version port to Android OS is considered complete. The version
finalize support for virtual user account, adds relocatable location for
configuration, relax directory permissions and ignore login records.
In addition is implemented work-around for servers with broken
announcement of extension "server-sig-algs". It covers OpenSSH versions
7.3 and 7.4. Issue with OpenSSH 7.3 is more serious as server lists only
rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 as supported public-key algorithms. In
result of this "/adaptive public key algorithm selection" functionality
of PKIX-SSH skips all non-RSA identities (keys/).
New release adds certificates sent for an identity encoded in rfc6187
format to verification process. This mean that there is no requirement
client or server to keep intermediate certificates in X.509 store for
those keys.
SecureBox (http://securebox.termoneplus.com/) is and Android application
that packs additional commands for terminal applications.
Version 1.0.0 adds commands from PKIXSSH 10.2 and OpenSSL 1.1.0e.
Application is best integrated with terminal program TermOnePlus (
http://termoneplus.com/) - it require TermOnePlus permission "Override
path" to be granted to it. Also "Override path" has to allowed in
TermOnePlus preferences. Permission allows path to binaries exported by
SecureBox to precede default path of terminal program.
Regards,
Roumen Petrov
