Description

Hi,

I need to know if:

  1. It's the AES-NI support compiled inside the Win10 OpenSSH client and/or server?
  2. If YES, then how to check if it's working?

I really like to use only OpenSSH in my Win10, but with good performance (aka with hardware AES).

Best.

Research direction

Start by examining the Win10 OpenSSH client and server builds to determine whether AES-NI is enabled. Identify how hardware AES usage can be checked on Windows, then document the support status and verification steps. The issue is complete when both questions have a reproducible answer.
