SSH is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services
over an insecure network. This document describes the architecture of the
SSH protocol, as well as the notation and terminology used in SSH protocol
documents. It also discusses the SSH algorithm naming system that allows
local extensions. The SSH protocol consists of three major components: The
Transport Layer Protocol provides server authentication, confidentiality,
and integrity with perfect forward secrecy. The User Authentication
Protocol authenticates the client to the server. The Connection Protocol
multiplexes the encrypted tunnel into several logical channels. Details of
these protocols are described in separate documents.
