Subject: switching cipher to none after authentification when data needs no encryption

switching cipher to none after authentification when data needs no encryption

Our sshd server daemons have the HPN feature

 http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/hpnreadme.php

that allows NoneSwitch (switch cipher to none after authentification).

They do not allow the none cipher end to end for security reasons.

Is there a way to use of this feature (NoneSwitch) with libssh2.

Am i missing something in the API that would allow to negotiate turning
off the encrytion after authentification (the cipher seems to be the
speed limit) ?

I am very new to libssh2.
