    • ssh(1)/sshd(8): Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2. The new cipher is available as aes128-gcm@openssh.com and aes256-gcm@openssh.com. It uses an identical packet format to the AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different selection rules during key exchange.

    • ssh(1)/sshd(8): Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2. These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default when available.

    super!
