SSH Protocols and Secure Shell
|
|
|
|
Secure Shell is the secure login program that revolutionized remote
|
|
management of networks hosts over the Internet. It is a powerful,
|
|
very easy-to-use program that uses strong cryptography for protecting
|
|
all transmitted confidential data, including passwords, binary files,
|
|
and administrative commands.
|
|
|
|
SSH Communications Security is the developer of the Secure Shell and
|
|
the SSH protocol, technologies that are the de-facto standard for
|
|
encrypted terminal connections on the Internet. The benefits of SSH
|
|
include
|
|
|
|
o Automatic authentication of users, no passwords sent in cleartext to
|
|
prevent the stealing of passwords.
|
|
|
|
o Multiple strong authentication methods that prevent such security
|
|
threats as spoofing identity.
|
|
|
|
o Authentication of both ends of connection, the server and the client
|
|
are authenticated to prevent identity spoofing, trojan horses, etc.
|
|
|
|
o Automatic authentication using agents to enable strong
|
|
authentication to multiple systems with a single-sign-on.
|
|
|
|
o Encryption and compression of data for security and speed.
|
|
|
|
o Secure file transfer.
|
|
|
|
o Tunneling and encryption of arbitrary connections.
