SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide 2nd Edition
Are you serious about network security? Then check out SSH,
the Secure Shell, which provides key-based authentication
and transparent encryption for your network connections.
It's reliable, robust, and reasonably easy to use, and both
free and commercial implementations are widely available for
most operating systems. While
it doesn't solve every privacy
and security problem, SSH eliminates several of them very
effectively.
Everything you want to know about SSH is in our second
edition of SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide. This
updated book thoroughly covers the latest SSH-2 protocol for
system administrators and end users interested in using this
increasingly popular TCP/IP-based solution.
How does it work? Whenever data is sent to the network, SSH
automatically encrypts it. When data reaches its intended
recipient, SSH decrypts it. The result is "transparent"
encryption-users can work normally, unaware that their
communications are already encrypted. SSH supports secure
file transfer between computers, secure remote logins, and a
unique "tunneling" capability that adds encryption to
otherwise insecure network applications. With SSH, users can
freely navigate the Internet, and system administrators can
secure their networks or perform remote administration.
Written for a wide, technical audience, SSH, The Secure
Shell: The Definitive Guide covers several implementations
of SSH for different operating systems and computing
environments. Whether you're an individual running Linux
machines at home, a corporate network administrator with
thousands of users, or a PC/Mac owner who just wants a
secure way to telnet or transfer files between machines, our
indispensable guide has you covered. It starts with simple
installation and use of SSH, and works its way to in-depth
case studies on large, sensitive computer networks.
No matter where or how you're shipping information, SSH, The
Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide will show you how to do
it securely.
