             Summary: Expose supported built-in ciphers as an Enum
                 Key: SSHD-430
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-430
             Project: MINA SSHD
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Goldstein Lyor


The available _Cipher_(s) and their respective _NamedFactory_(ies) are exposed via an _Enum_ - including the _isSupported_ method. This has significant advantages:

* A central location where all the currently available ciphers are listed - so that programmers don't need to browse the code.
* Facilitate configuration by code - e.g., read some list of ciphers, and then easily translate it from string names to their factories counterparts.
* (D)on't-(R)epeat-(Y)ourself - any new cipher is automatically available for programmers without any code change (assuming they are using the _Enum_). No need to manually update the code if upgrading to a new version - it will automatically be made available via the _Enum_
