Secure Shell (SSH)

SECURE SHELL (SSH)

Although Secure Shell (SSH) is a secure


application program that can be used today for
several purposes such as remote logging and
file transfer, it was originally designed to
replace TELNET. There are two versions of
SSH. The first version, SSH-1, is now
deprecated because of security flaws in it. In
this section, we discuss only SSH-2.
Components
SSH is an application-layer protocol with three
components, as shown in Figure.
SSH Transport-Layer Protocol (SSH-TRANS)

1. Privacy or confidentiality of the message


exchanged
2. Data integrity, which means that it is guaranteed
that the messages exchanged between the client
and server are not changed by an intruder.
3. Server authentication, which means that the
client is now sure that the server is the one that it
claims to be.
4. Compression of the messages, which improves
the efficiency of the system and makes attack
more difficult.
SSH Authentication Protocol (SSH-AUTH)

1. Authenticate the client for the server.


2. defines a number of authentication tools similar
to the ones used in SSL.
3. Authentication starts with the client, which sends
a request message to the server.
• The request includes the username, server
name, the method of authentication, and the
required data.
4. The server responds with either a success
message, which confirms that the client is
authenticated, or a failed message.
SSH Authentication Protocol (SSH-AUTH)

1. Multiplexing.
2. defines a number of authentication tools similar
to the ones used in SSL.
3. Lets the client create multiple logical channels
over it.
4. Each channel can be used for a different
purpose, such as remote logging, file transfer,
and so on.
Applications
• Although SSH is often thought of as a replacement
for TELNET, SSH is, in fact, a general-purpose
protocol that provides a secure connection between a
client and server.
• PuTTy, by Simon Tatham, which is a client SSH
program that can be used for remote logging.
• Application program is Tectia used on several
platforms.
• for file transfer is the Secure File Transfer
Program (sftp)
• Secure Copy (scp) - This application uses the
same format as the UNIX copy command, cp, to
copy files.
