            MissingHostKeyPolicy

Known Subclasses:
  - AutoAddPolicy
  - , RejectPolicy
  - , WarningPolicy

Interface for defining the policy that SSHClient should use when the SSH server's hostname is not in either the system host keys or the application's keys. Pre-made classes implement policies for automatically adding the key to the application's HostKeys object (AutoAddPolicy), and for automatically rejecting the key (RejectPolicy).

This function may be used to ask the user to verify the key, for example.
