\"SUSE\"
\nSUSE engineer Lucas M\u00fclling is leading an effort to work on implementing SSH within the Zig programming language, a popular language for robust, optimal, and reusable software.<\/p>\n

In development now and planned for further work during SUSE’s upcoming Hack Week the first week of December is this SSH implementation being worked on in the Zig language. <\/p>\n

This SSH + Zig effort was announced today on news.opensuse.org<\/a>: <\/p>\n

“The effort builds on an incomplete implementation that already covers primitives, keys, certificates and much of the agent protocol. <\/p>\n

The project\u2019s work so far lives at a SourceHut repository and the immediate goal is to produce a working SSH stack in Zig that is easy to extend for research and experimentation. <\/p>\n

Contributors can help finish the protocol flows and broaden cryptographic support so the code can be used for tasks such as testing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms.”<\/p>\n

The hope is to having a working implementation of the SSH protocol within Zig, allow for hacking\/experimenting on the protocol, and to be agnostic for different cryptographic libraries.<\/p>\n
