Hello,

it would be nice if I could give both server and client a static passphrase, with which the websocket traffic then is encrypted.

I know, you can use websockets with TLS and also the SSH traffic is encrypted already, but still, if a company intercepts TLS traffic and inspects it, you would see that SSH traffic is encapsulated.

Seems reasonable. It does introduce the problem of selecting and implementing ciphers, though.

The easy choice is probably to go with ChaCha20, just like WireGuard. Though that still requires that I fully understand the implications of nonce.

This is in a state of me being unlikely to implement it, but would accept well written pull requsets.
