#7 Add support for Ed25519 keys and bcrypt KDF format
OpenSSH 6.5 (January 2014) introduced Ed25519 keys in bcrypt KDF format due to security and perfomance advantages. This format is now becoming widely used and is expectable to become the de-facto standard for new keys. Therefore JSch should follow along and implement it.
There is already at least one pure Java implementation of Ed25519, in use for i2p: ed25519-java.
Would really love to see this change, because juice-ssh seems to rely on that to be working first in jsch.
