Final Charter for Working Group
The goal of the working group is to update and standardize the popular
SSH protocol. SSH provides support for secure remote login, secure file
transfer, and secure TCP/IP and X11 forwardings. It can automatically
encrypt, authenticate, and compress transmitted data. The working
group will attempt to assure that the SSH protocol
o provides strong security against cryptanalysis and protocol
attacks,
o can work reasonably well without a global key management or
certificate infrastructure,
o can utilize existing certificate infrastructures (e.g., DNSSEC,
SPKI, X.509) when available,
o can be made easy to deploy and take into use,
o requires minimum or no manual interaction from users,
o is reasonably clean and simple to implement.
The resulting protocol will operate over TCP/IP or other reliable but
insecure transport. It is intended to be implemented at the application
level.
