Noun
Context #1 | Noun

network protocol

SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that allows secure remote access and command execution on a computer. It provides a secure channel over an unsecured network, ensuring that data is encrypted to protect against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. SSH is widely used for managing servers and network devices securely, allowing users to log in remotely and execute commands as if they were physically present at the machine. It has become a standard for secure remote communication in many IT environments.

Synonyms

Secure Shell, remote login, secure access.

Examples of usage

  • I used SSH to connect to my server securely.
  • The network administrator configured SSH for secure remote access.
  • We rely on SSH to safely manage our cloud infrastructure.

Etymology

The term SSH stands for Secure Shell, with its development originating in the mid-1990s by Tatu Ylรถnen, a Finnish computer scientist, who created it as a means to replace unsecure login protocols like Telnet and rlogin. The original version of SSH, known as SSH-1, was released in 1995 to address the security vulnerabilities inherent in earlier remote connection technologies. In 1996, a more secure and improved version, SSH-2, was defined and it included enhancements such as stronger encryption methods and improved authentication mechanisms. SSH revolutionized remote access by ensuring confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over the insecure network. SSH is now a fundamental tool in network security, enjoying widespread adoption in Unix-based systems and beyond, becoming a standard for secure connections in various applications from server management to secure file transfers.
