Patching a SSH 'Weakness'

[ge7r85o02]

Just off the top of my head (I have to check the SSH protocol yet): Why not 
encipher all accumulated keystrokes up to the <Enter> key as a block send them 
instead of sending each keystroke as it is typed? This shrouds the typist's 
characteristics.
In addition, if the cipher is a block cipher, padding is added to make the 
number of bits a multiple of the block size. Mandatory padding with a nonce may 
help to shroud the number of keystrokes.
The drawback is that the padding part could mean that we are no longer 
compatible with the SSH protocol.
