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.
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.
