+ This is resolved by OpenSSH in the ciphers [email protected] and [email protected] which are implemented.
+ If the explicit ciphers and macs AEAD_AES_128_GCM or AEAD_AES_256_GCM are needed,
+ they could be enabled with the option preferred_algorithms.
+ <warning>
+ If the client or the server is not Erlang/OTP, it is the users responsibility to check that
+ other implementation has the same interpretation of AEAD_AES_*_GCM as the Erlang/OTP SSH before
+ enabling them. The aes*[email protected] variants are always safe to use since they lack the
+ ambiguity.
