AES Galois Counter Mode for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol
RFC 5647, “AES Galois Counter Mode for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol”, is an Informational document published in August 2009 by K. Igoe, J. Solinas. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Secure shell (SSH) is a secure remote-login protocol. SSH provides for algorithms that provide authentication, key agreement, confidentiality, and data-integrity services. The purpose of this document is to show how the AES Galois Counter Mode can be used to provide both confidentiality and data integrity to the SSH Transport Layer Protocol. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
