### Description Apache MINA sshd requires at least Java 8, which has full EC support. So there is no reason to have EC as an "optional" feature. ### Motivation Assuming EC was always available would simplify the code and ease maintenance. ### Alternatives considered _No response_ ### Additional context Why was this ever made optional? Support for EC keys, signatures, and ECDH was added to Apache MINA sshd in 2014 for version 0.10.0, which targeted Java 1.5. EC keys had been introduced in Java 1.5... were early EC implementations in Java buggy or not fully functional? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
