     in RFC 4251.  SSH employs cryptographic algorithms to provide
     authentication, key agreement, confidentiality and data integrity.
     This document specifies the conventions for using AES-GCM, the
     Advanced Encryption Standard in the Galois/Counter Mode, to
     provide both confidentiality and data integrity.

Working Group Summary
