Subject: Re: OpenSSH key blacklisting
All,
Maybe I've missed something, in which case, shoot me down, but why unlike
other services that make use of public key cryptography, does OpenSSH not
have use a model which supports proper authorisation and revocation
mechanisms? Would this not be an ideal opportunity to implement this?
Whilst I think there was a reasonable case for such features prior to the
Debian OpenSSL vulnerability being identified, I would argue that this issue
highlights the case. Comercial SSH already has such functionality - can
anyone offer a view on how [well] it works?
Tim
