tomaswolf opened a new issue, #740:
URL: https://github.com/apache/mina-sshd/issues/740

   ### 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?
