Remarks

FlowSshC/Cpp/Net supports ECDSA, RSA, and DSA algorithms for SSH host authentication. Many SSH servers have host-keys for several algorithms; some have host-keys only for one of them. The HostKeyAlgs structure/class is used to specify which of the algorithms to use, and if several, which one to prefer. For member values the following rules apply:

• An algorithm is enabled if it holds a non-zero value.
• Algorithms with lower non-zero values precede algorithms with higher values.
• Algorithms holding the same non-zero value are ordered by their declaration order.

By default, all host-key algorithms are enabled.
