Network Security and protocols explained in detailed

An application layer solution. It is a connection-oriented service and thus uses TCP ONLY. SSH is primarily used for shell based solutions and ideally won’t be used to protect web browsing sessions and other application services (though it can via port forwarding)
Uses public key cryptography to prove the authenticity of the remote user. SSH can generate an RSA key pair (I believe Diffie-Hellman can also be used). It uses what’s known as a fingerprint which is a snapshot of an individual host’s actual public key (for instance the RSA public portion). The fingerprints are usually 128 bits in length. It is what the user can use to verify that a public key is that of an individual or host. SSH will maintain a list of trusted hosts. The actual data communication is secured using symmetric cryptography such as AES or 3DES, IDEA
The public portion of the key is transmitted to the remote endpoint/server via an out-of-band mechanism. Also a lack of key management

 

SSH does provide some extensible features. Two of these are port forwarding and secure tunneling. With port forwarding, you can tell the SSH daemon to listen to data communication on a particular port and forward this communication to the encrypted SSH session. This allows you to protect other services as well. In Linux, X11 forwarding takes advantage of this. X11 is used for graphical display of a remote system on your localhost. With port forwarding, SSH can be used to provide an encrypted session for X11 Network Security
