This interface provides a callback method so that the user can verify the identity of the server (by checking the public key) during the initial protocol negotiation.

For a list of all members of this type, see HostKeyVerification Members.

Types that implement HostKeyVerification

Remarks

This check is performed at the beginning of each connection to prevent trojan horses (by routing or DNS spoofing) and man-in-the-middle attacks. The user should verify that the key is acceptable; the most usual method being a local database file called known_hosts. The core Maverick.NET engine does not enforce any specific host key verification implementation.

class SimpleHostKeyVerification : HostKeyVerification
{
    public bool VerifyHost(String hostname, SSHPublicKey key)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

// Then to configure before establishing a connection

SSHConnector con = SSHConnector.Create();
con.KnownHosts = new SimpleHostKeyVerification();

Requirements

Namespace: Maverick.SSH

Assembly: Maverick.NET (in Maverick.NET.dll)
