Properties

ExchangeHash

Gets the exchange hash.

public byte[] ExchangeHash { get; }

Property Value

byte[]

Session

Gets the session.

protected Session Session { get; }

Property Value

Session

SharedKey

Gets or sets key exchange shared key.

public byte[] SharedKey { get; protected set; }

Property Value

byte[]

Methods

CalculateHash()

Calculates key exchange hash value.

protected abstract byte[] CalculateHash()

Returns

byte[]

Key exchange hash.

CanTrustHostKey(KeyHostAlgorithm)

Determines whether the specified host key can be trusted.

protected bool CanTrustHostKey(KeyHostAlgorithm host)

Parameters

host KeyHostAlgorithm

The host algorithm.

Returns

bool

true if the specified host can be trusted; otherwise, false.

CreateClientCipher(out bool)

Creates the client side cipher to use.

public Cipher CreateClientCipher(out bool isAead)

Parameters

isAead bool

true to indicate the cipher is AEAD, false to indicate the cipher is not AEAD.

Returns

Cipher

Client cipher.

CreateClientHash(out bool)

Creates the client side hash algorithm to use.

public HashAlgorithm CreateClientHash(out bool isEncryptThenMAC)

Parameters

isEncryptThenMAC bool

true to enable encrypt-then-MAC, false to use encrypt-and-MAC.

Returns

HashAlgorithm

The client-side hash algorithm.

CreateCompressor()

Creates the compression algorithm to use to deflate data.

public Compressor CreateCompressor()

Returns

Compressor

The compression method.

CreateDecompressor()

Creates the compression algorithm to use to inflate data.

public Compressor CreateDecompressor()

Returns

Compressor

The decompression method.

CreateServerCipher(out bool)

Creates the server side cipher to use.

public Cipher CreateServerCipher(out bool isAead)

Parameters

isAead bool

true to indicate the cipher is AEAD, false to indicate the cipher is not AEAD.

Returns

Cipher

Server cipher.

CreateServerHash(out bool)

Creates the server side hash algorithm to use.

public HashAlgorithm CreateServerHash(out bool isEncryptThenMAC)

Parameters

isEncryptThenMAC bool

true to enable encrypt-then-MAC, false to use encrypt-and-MAC.

Returns

HashAlgorithm

The server-side hash algorithm.

Dispose()

Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.

public void Dispose()

Dispose(bool)

Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources.

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

disposing bool

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

~KeyExchange()

Releases unmanaged resources and performs other cleanup operations before the Renci.SshNet.Security.KeyExchange is reclaimed by garbage collection.

protected ~KeyExchange()

Finish()

Finishes key exchange algorithm.

public virtual void Finish()

Hash(byte[])

Hashes the specified data bytes.

protected abstract byte[] Hash(byte[] hashData)

Parameters

hashData byte[]

The hash data.

Returns

byte[]

The hash of the data.

SendMessage(Message)

Sends SSH message to the server.

protected void SendMessage(Message message)

Parameters

message Message

The message.

Start(Session, KeyExchangeInitMessage, bool)

Starts the key exchange algorithm.

public virtual void Start(Session session, KeyExchangeInitMessage message, bool sendClientInitMessage)

Parameters

session Session

The session.

message KeyExchangeInitMessage

The key exchange init message received from the server.

sendClientInitMessage bool

Whether to send a key exchange init message in response.

ValidateExchangeHash()

Validates the exchange hash.

protected abstract bool ValidateExchangeHash()

Returns

bool

true if exchange hash is valid; otherwise false.

HostKeyReceived

Occurs when host key received.

public event EventHandler<HostKeyEventArgs> HostKeyReceived

Event Type

EventHandler<HostKeyEventArgs>
