Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol allowing secure remote login to a computer on a network using public-key cryptography.SSH client programs (such as ssh from OpenSSH) typically run for the duration of a remote login session and are configured to look for the user's private key in a file in the user's home directory (e.g., .ssh/id_rsa).
The most commonly implemented software stack is OpenSSH, released in 1999 as open-source software by the OpenBSD developers. Implementations are distributed for all types of operating systems in common use, including embedded systems. SSH applications are based on a client–server architecture, connecting an SSH client instance with an SSH ...
The SCP is a network protocol, based on the BSD RCP protocol, [5] which supports file transfers between hosts on a network. SCP uses Secure Shell (SSH) for data transfer and uses the same mechanisms for authentication, thereby ensuring the authenticity and confidentiality of the data in transit. A client can send (upload) files to a server ...
The forwarding of data is bidirectional, meaning that any return communication is itself forwarded back to the client-side in the same manner; this is known as an "SSH tunnel", [23] and it can be used to multiplex additional TCP connections over a single SSH connection since 2004, [24] to conceal connections, to encrypt protocols that are ...
ssh-keygen is a standard component of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol suite found on Unix, Unix-like and Microsoft Windows computer systems used to establish secure shell sessions between remote computers over insecure networks, through the use of various cryptographic techniques. The ssh-keygen utility is used to generate, manage, and convert ...
This means that the SSH server will only be aware of the IP address of the web application server, keeping the actual client's IP address hidden. Auditability: Because all communication between the client and the SSH server must pass through the web application server this communication can be logged. This prevents a malicious client from ...
Bitvise is a proprietary secure remote access software developed for Windows and available as a client and server. [3] The software is based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, which provides a secure channel over an insecure network in a client-server architecture.
An SSH server is a software program which uses the Secure Shell protocol to accept connections from remote computers. SFTP / SCP file transfers and remote terminal connections are popular use cases for an SSH server.
