SSH Ciphers
| Cipher | Description |
|---|---|
| AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) | A symmetric-key cipher widely used for secure data encryption. Provides strong encryption and is considered secure. |
| 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) | A symmetric-key block cipher that applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm three times. It's relatively secure but less so than AES. |
| Blowfish | A symmetric-key block cipher known for its fast encryption and strong security. It's considered secure, though not as widely used as AES. |
| ChaCha20 | A stream cipher designed for speed and security. It is known for being highly secure and efficient. |
| RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) | An asymmetric-key cipher used for public key encryption and digital signatures. RSA is widely used for key exchange in SSH. |
| DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) | An asymmetric-key algorithm used for digital signatures. It's often used for SSH key authentication. |
| ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) | An asymmetric-key algorithm that provides strong security with smaller key sizes, making it more efficient. Commonly used for SSH key authentication. |
| Ed25519 | A specific implementation of the EdDSA (Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm) for strong security and performance. It's gaining popularity for SSH key authentication. |
