The IESG contact persons are Russ Housley and Sam Hartman. Technical Summary SSH is a protocol for providing an authenticated, integrity protected and encrypted stream between two end-points. It can optionally provide compression as well as multiplexing several virtual streams within a single TCP connection. This multiplexing feature is particularly useful for "tunneling" other protocols such as the X Window System. A Main focus of the SSH protocol is to provide a transport for remote login from a client computer system to a server system. Working Group Summary There is working group consensus around this set of documents. Protocol Quality These documents were reviewed by Jeffrey I.
