Hi, I've put up Dropbear 2013.62. It has only a few changes since the 2013.61test release. The major features of 2013.61test are ECC support (significantly faster connections) and generating hostkeys automatically.
Downloads as usual at https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html or https://dropbear.nl/mirror/dropbear.html Cheers, Matt 2013.62 - Tuesday 3 December 2013 - Disable "interactive" QoS connection options when a connection doesn't have a PTY (eg scp, rsync). Thanks to Catalin Patulea for the patch. - Log when a hostkey is generated with -R, fix some bugs in handling server hostkey commandline options - Fix crash in Dropbearconvert and 521 bit key, reported by NiLuJe - Update config.guess and config.sub again 2013.61test - Thursday 14 November 2013 - ECC (elliptic curve) support. Supports ECDSA hostkeys (requires new keys to be generated) and ECDH for setting up encryption keys (no intervention required). This is significantly faster. - curve25519-sha...@libssh.org support for setting up encryption keys. This is another elliptic curve mode with less potential of NSA interference in algorithm parameters. curve25519-donna code thanks to Adam Langley - -R option to automatically generate hostkeys. This is recommended for embedded platforms since it allows the system random number device /dev/urandom a longer startup time to generate a secure seed before the hostkey is required. - Compile fixes for old vendor compilers like Tru64 from Daniel Richard G. - Make authorized_keys handling more robust, don't exit encountering malformed lines. Thanks to Lorin Hochstein and Mark Stillwell
