The Secure Shell Transport Layer Encryption Modes
RFC 4344, “The Secure Shell Transport Layer Encryption Modes”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2006 by M. Bellare, T. Kohno, C. Namprempre. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Researchers have discovered that the authenticated encryption portion of the current SSH Transport Protocol is vulnerable to several attacks.
This document describes new symmetric encryption methods for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Protocol and gives specific recommendations on how frequently SSH implementations should rekey. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
