Other Packages

Packages to build a complete secure shell (version 1 and 2) client. The cleanest packages are com.mindbright.security.* and com.mindbright.ssh2.*. Most other packages are somewhat clean and structured. Beware of the package com.mindbright.ssh though since it contains lots of deprecated code which is only needed to build the complete MindTerm client which is in places overly complex and somewhat unstructured. We strongly advice against building ssh1 enabled clients if it at all can be avoided.

People looking for the ssh2 implementation need only look in the com.mindbright.ssh2 package. The only external packages needed are com.mindbright.jce.crypto.*, com.mindbright.jca.security.*, com.mindbright.security.*, and com.mindbright.util. To be able to utilize the terminal the com.mindbright.terminal package have to be added aswell. Finally the packages com.mindbright.net.* and com.mindbright.sshcommon contains useful stuff (like proxy connection classes and scp1 file transfer protocol).

It is possible to build the whole code using another crypto provider and/or javax.crypto.* package (given that all needed algorithms are available). Please note though that since some Java environments doesn't contain a full set of java.security.* and javax.crypto.* packages we have implemented everything that is needed by our implementation and put it into the packages com.mindbright.jca.security.*. and com.mindbright.jce.crypto.*. This is convenient since it makes the code independent from the java.security.* and javax.crypoto.* packages available. However, since java has no good way of doing conditional compilation (like #ifdef in C) changing to another crypto provider and/or changing to the real java.security.* packages means you will have to replace the com.mindbright.jca.security.* with java.security.* and com.mindbright.jce.crypto.* with javax.crypto.* everywhere in the code.
