SSH is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network ser-
vices over an insecure network. This document describes the architecture
of the SSH protocol, as well as the notation and terminology used in SSH
protocol documents. It also discusses the SSH algorithm naming system
that allows local extensions. The SSH protocol consists of three major
components: The Transport Layer Protocol provides server authentication,
confidentiality, and integrity with perfect forward secrecy. The User
Authentication Protocol authenticates the client to the server. The Con-
nection Protocol multiplexes the encrypted tunnel into several logical
channels. Details of these protocols are described in separate docu-
ments.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
