SSH
Long description
Secure Shell, a protocol for secure, encrypted network connections. SSH can
be used to execute programs on a remote host with an SSH server over otherwise
insecure protocols through an SSH channel. The main use is, as the name
suggest, to provide encrypted login and shell access on remote servers.
.
SSH authentication can be done with password or, which is the preferred
mechanism, via asymmetric public/private key cryptography.
