Secure Shell, or?SSH, is a network protocol normally used to connect a user to a remote system over an insecure network. SSH not only authenticates users, but also?encrypts?communications across networks like the Internet. SSH is used in organizations by system administrators, users, and automated processes to initiate file transfers, manage infrastructure, and provide access to other mission-critical system operations. SSH also works in cloud computing to help deal with network and security issues. SSH keys act as a way of authenticating users without using usernames and passwords. Instead, users have a trusted SSH key pair which authenticates them as the person they say they are.
