SSH Ciphers

The SSH Ciphers page of Network > Firewall > Cipher Control allows you to specify which cryptographic SSH ciphers SonicOS uses.

Key Exchange Algorithm Lists the cryptographic algorithms used to exchange cryptographic keys between two parties

The Key Exchange Algorithms ecdh-sha2-nistp256, ecdh-sha2-nistp384, and ecdh-sha2-nistp521 are supported only in SonicOS7.1 Policy mode.
Public Key Algorithm Lists the asymmetric cryptographic algorithms using pairs of public keys
Encrypt Algorithm Lists the encryption algorithms used in secure transfers of files, such as FTP transfers
MAC Algorithm Lists the algorithms using a MAC (message authentication code) value to authenticate messages

To select or deselect SSH ciphers:

  1. Navigate to Network > Firewall > Cipher Control.
  2. Click SSH Ciphers.

  3. Select the SSH algorithm to use or ignore.

All SSH ciphers are selected by default.
