Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol
RFC 4419, “Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2006 by M. Friedl, N. Provos, W. Simpson. It has since been updated by RFC 8270. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes a new key exchange method for the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. It allows the SSH server to propose new groups on which to perform the Diffie-Hellman key exchange to the client. The proposed groups need not be fixed and can change with time. [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.
