over an open network, SSH allows you to store the server keys so you're only at risk for man-in-the-middle once. This is significantly better than anonymous DH where you're always at risk. -Ekr -- [Eric Rescorla [EMAIL PROTECTED]] PureTLS - free SSLv3

does not, then the answer is that it's far far worse. In the SSH case, the attacker still can't get at your password -- provided that you check the server's RSA key against the one you know matches that server. With SSL and ADH, an active attacker can recover any data you send over the channel. -Ekr
