Ballot Text
Technical Summary
This memo describes a key-exchange method for the Secure Shell (SSH)
protocol based on Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) public-key encryption.
It uses much less client CPU time than the Diffie-Hellman algorithm
specified as part of the core protocol, and hence is particularly
suitable for slow client systems.
Working Group Summary
This document is not a product of the secsh working group but it
has been reviewed by participants of that working group.
Protocol Quality
This document has been reviewed by Sam Hartman for the IESG. There
are at least two implementations of this specification underway.
Note to RFC Editor
Remove the trademark notice section prior to publication. Unlike the core ssh
documents it is not needed in this case.
