Strong authentication (public keys, one-time passwords)Strong authentication protects against several security problems: IP spoofing, fakes routes and DNS spoofing.Insecure internet applications like POP can be secured with this. Port forwarding (encrypted channels for legacy protocols)Port forwarding allows forwarding of TCP/IP connections to a remote machine over an encrypted channel.Fake Xauthority information is automatically generated and forwarded to the remote machine the local client automatically examines incoming X11 connections and replaces the fake authorization data with the real data (never telling the remote machine the real information). The program automatically sets DISPLAY on the server machine, and forwards any X11 connections over the secure channel. X11 forwarding (which also encrypts X Window System traffic)X11 forwarding allows the encryption of remote X windows traffic, so that nobody can snoop on your remote xterms or insert malicious commands.A number of different ciphers and key types are available, and legacy options are usually phased out in a reasonable amount of time. Encryption is also used to protect against spoofed packets. Strong cryptography (AES, ChaCha20, RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519…)Encryption is started before authentication, and no passwords or other information is transmitted in the clear.Any licensed or patented components are chosen from external libraries (e.g. patents) have been removed from the source code. All components of a restrictive nature (i.e. We feel that the world would be better if routers, network appliances, operating systems, and all other network devices had ssh integrated into them. The license is included in the distribution. It can be used for any and all purposes, and that explicitly includes commercial use. OpenSSH is not covered by any restrictive license.
