new xxx@openssh.com/libssh.com ciphers/macs

Would it be possible to add some new cipher suites introduces in openssh and libssh?

curve25519-sha256@libssh.org (important)
hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com (ETM - Encrypt the Mac)
hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com (ETM - Encrypt the Mac
umac-128-etm@openssh.com (umac is faster than hmac's)

I think you already support GCM mode, but I'll add it too: aes256-gcm@openssh.com

Please request support for these at PuTTY project.

We will take over their implementation.

Thanks for the link. I have in fact already emailed the PuTTY authors, though they have not replied. I would say PuTTY is an almost dead, if not stale, project since the only update since over two years back is a security fix in August last year.

I'm sure they will consider your request.
