DEPRECATION NOTICE Effective December 15th, 2021

As a result of our ongoing security reviews and security strategy, we will no longer support the following security algorithms for SSH:

- aes256-gcm
- aes128-gcm
- diffie-hellman-group14-sha1

While this change will eliminate vulnerable algorithms, it will add support for new crypto options.

- chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
- diffie-hellman-group15-sha512
- diffie-hellman-group17-sha512
- hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com
- hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com
- hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com

Customers that historically experience issues with this type of change are due to automated scripts within their environment. We encourage you to review and, where appropriate, update your clients before December 8, 2021.

To facilitate customer testing, we are providing a public beta test server.
