This package name is clearly not acceptable. SSH is a well known name
and this project is completely unrelated to it.
So this is an accademic project. I would question that it actually
solves the same problem as SSH does.
The paper might also be missleading. They compare session setup time,
but don't even describe the used parameters. They don't describe a way
to use real authentication, instead they just refer to HTTP, which does
not specify anything equivalent to what SSH uses by default.

Questionable.

In addition? I don't see any way to use authentication similar to SSH
in this. But maybe just show where I can use sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com
authentication, which is a modern one, with this.

You still have a HTTP listener that can be seen.
