QuestionQ270

Application Protocols

SSH is a network protocol that enables data exchange between two networks through a secure channel. Which of the following encryption algorithms may be used by the SSH protocol?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Choose four
  • A Blowfish
  • B IDEA
  • C DES
  • D RC4
Explanation

SSH supports negotiated encryption ciphers, including Blowfish, IDEA, DES-based ciphers, and ARCFOUR (RC4). These algorithms are legacy choices and are generally unsuitable for new secure deployments because of known cryptographic weaknesses, but they are SSH-supported algorithms in applicable implementations or protocol extensions.
