ShellGuard SSH Client Overview

ShellGuard SSH Client provides the user with secure login connections over unknown or untrusted networks, authenticates server and encrypts traffic between the client and server. ShellGuard is a command line program and consists of three integrated components:
  1. Secure Copy provides a secure method for file transfers over insecure networks.
  2. Key Generation allows to generate and manage RSA/DSA keys for the Public Key authentication.
  3. Port Forwarding enables secure tunneling of Internet protocol services like email and web browsing.
All traffic is encrypted using strong encryption: AES, 3DES, Blowfish, CAST or other. Public key or password based user authentication.
