@ -458,6 +458,12 @@ The value of ``bypass`` is of the form ``hash_function_name : hash_value``
they will introduce a lot of latency to starting a session and in any case
there is no mathematical proof that **any** hash function is not brute-forceable.
Terminal implementations are free to use their own more advanced hashing
schemes, with prefixes other than those starting with ``sha``, which are
reserved. For instance, kitty uses a scheme based on public key encryption
via :envvar:`KITTY_PUBLIC_KEY`. For details of this scheme, see the
``check_bypass()`` function in the kitty source code.
