Overview

Implements the higher-level logic behind an SSH key-exchange. It handles both the initial exchange, as well as subsequent re-exchanges (as needed). It also encapsulates the negotiation of the algorithms, and provides a single point of access to the negotiated algorithms.

You will never instantiate or reference this directly. It is used internally by the transport layer.

Constructor Details

#initialize(session, options = {}) ⇒ Algorithms

Instantiates a new Algorithms object, and prepares the hash of preferred algorithms based on the options parameter and the ALGORITHMS constant.

#[](key) ⇒ Object

A convenience method for accessing the list of preferred types for a specific algorithm (see #algorithms).

def [](key)
  algorithms[key]
end

#accept_kexinit(packet) ⇒ Object

Called by the transport layer when a KEXINIT packet is recieved, indicating that the server wants to exchange keys. This can be spontaneous, or it can be in response to a client-initiated rekey request (see #rekey!). Either way, this will block until the key exchange completes.

  @server_packet = @server_data[:raw]
  if !pending?
    send_kexinit
  else
    proceed!
  end
end

#allow?(packet) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if no exchange is pending, and otherwise returns true or false depending on whether the given packet is of a type that is allowed during a key exchange.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/algorithms.rb', line 142

def allow?(packet)
  !pending? || Algorithms.allowed_packet?(packet)
end

#initialized? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the algorithms have been negotiated at all.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

149
 
# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/algorithms.rb', line 147

def initialized?
  @initialized
end

#pending? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if a key-exchange is pending. This will be true from the moment either the client or server requests the key exchange, until the exchange completes. While an exchange is pending, only a limited number of packets are allowed, so event processing essentially stops during this period.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/algorithms.rb', line 135

def pending?
  @pending
end

#rekey! ⇒ Object

Request a rekey operation. This will return immediately, and does not actually perform the rekey operation. It does cause the session to change state, however–until the key exchange finishes, no new packets will be processed.
