Description
SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide provides reliable and robust network security through key-based authentication and transparent encryption. This widely available solution is suitable for most operating systems, offering free and commercial implementations. The SSH protocol automatically encrypts data sent to the network, decrypting it upon arrival, providing 'transparent' encryption that allows users to work normally without awareness of their communications being encrypted. It supports secure file transfer, remote logins, and a unique 'tunneling' capability for adding encryption to insecure applications. Covering the latest SSH-2 protocol, this guide is written for a wide technical audience, addressing various implementations of SSH for different operating systems and computing environments.
