[jira] [Comment Edited] (SSHD-708) Add support for password encrypted ed25519 private key files

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-708?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16704485#comment-16704485 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to propose separating this into 2 different issues

 
 # Having some proof-of-concept this is possible - if you could publish a PR using the artifact mentioned it would be great. Personally I prefer copying just the one class if that is all that is needed. Please remember to add a unit test using a file with a known password (we usually use "super secret passphrase").
 # The legal stuff - I will pass along this request to people who are more knowledgeable than me in this and see what they say. My own +lay man+ opinion is that it should not prove a problem since it seems to be using a BSD license - however, as I have said, I would rather have the Apache legal team look at it.

This way, even if we run into some legal issues, we have at least a possible solution that we can offer our users - show them how this can be achieved - provided their legal policy allows them.
