SHA-2 Data Integrity Verification for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol
RFC 6668, “SHA-2 Data Integrity Verification for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2012 by D. Bider, M. Baushke. It updates RFC 4253. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines algorithm names and parameters for use in some of the SHA-2 family of secure hash algorithms for data integrity verification in the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. It also updates RFC 4253 by specifying a new RECOMMENDED data integrity algorithm. [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.
