SSH has solution for that forever too, server certs. Server cert change or (if you're fancy) is not signed by right CA and you get an alert.


Server certs are a different issue. If OpenSSH, by default, sent SHA256(logged in user’s password) to the server, even after verifying the cert, it would get laughed out of the toolbox of security-conscious users.
