ssh-protocol vs ssh-key vs internal-russh-forked-ssh-key
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
Pure Rust implementation of the SSH protocol as described in RFC4251/RFC4253 as well as OpenSSH-specific extensions (WIP)
Pure Rust implementation of SSH key file format decoders/encoders as described in RFC4251/RFC4253 and OpenSSH key formats, as well as "sshsig" signatures and certificates (including certificate validation and certificate authority support), with further support for the `authorized_keys` and `known_hosts` file formats.
