Parent: | Object |
Implements the higher-level logic behind an SSH key-exchange. It handles both the initial exchange, as well as subsequent re-exchanges (as needed). It also encapsulates the negotiation of the algorithms, and provides a single point of access to the negotiated algorithms.
You will never instantiate or reference this directly. It is used internally by the transport layer.

algorithms | [R] | The hash of algorithms preferred by the client, which will be told to the server during algorithm negotiation. |

language_server | [R] | The language that will be used in messages sent from the server. |
options | [R] | The hash of options used to initialize this object |
session | [R] | The underlying transport layer session that supports this object |
session_id | [R] | The session-id for this session, as decided during the initial key exchange. |
Instantiates a new Algorithms object, and prepares the hash of preferred algorithms based on the options parameter and the ALGORITHMS constant.
A convenience method for accessing the list of preferred types for a specific algorithm (see algorithms).
Called by the transport layer when a KEXINIT packet is recieved, indicating that the server wants to exchange keys. This can be spontaneous, or it can be in response to a client-initiated rekey request (see rekey!). Either way, this will block until the key exchange completes.
Returns true if no exchange is pending, and otherwise returns true or false depending on whether the given packet is of a type that is allowed during a key exchange.
