SSH Encryption
|
---|
The SSH Protocol is a network communications protocol allowing for secure remote login and other secure network services over an non-secured network. Unfortunately, thanks to significant increase in computer power and advances in decryption techniques, the majority of the original SSH algorithms are no longer secure. For this reason, not all SSH products and implementations are equally secure. Some still use the initial algorithms referenced in RFC 4252. These 11-year-old algorithms, once state-of-the-art, are simply outdated, dangerous to use and unfit for commercial deployment. Nothing can replace due diligence and software updates.
SSH is a protocol that uses various encryption ciphers not all SSH products are the same. The security of SSH is HIGHLY dependent on the encryption ciphers used. If old, outdated ciphers are used, the SSH is old and outdated. The GSW ConnectBot ONLY includes up-to-date ciphers that have no known security vulnerabilities or weaknesses. |
