do not confuse mandoc by presenting "Dd"; Upstream-ID: 1470fce171c47b60bbc7ecd0fc717a442c2cfe65
2015-11-16upstream commitjcs@openbsd.org
Add an AddKeysToAgent client option which can be set to 'yes', 'no', 'ask', or 'confirm', and defaults to 'no'. When enabled, a private key that is used during authentication will be added to ssh-agent if it is running (with confirmation enabled if set to 'confirm'). Initial version from Joachim Schipper many years ago. ok markus@ Upstream-ID: a680db2248e8064ec55f8be72d539458c987d5f4

ECDH and ECDSA offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys. Only the mandatory sections of RFC5656 are implemented, specifically the three REQUIRED curves nistp256, nistp384 and nistp521 and only ECDH and ECDSA. Point compression (optional in RFC5656 is NOT implemented). Certificate host and user keys using the new ECDSA key types are supported.
