Question

Which of these statements concerning Secure Shell (SSH) are correct?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution.

Choose three

A It is the core routing protocol of the Internet.
B It was designed as a replacement for TELNET and other insecure shells.
C It is a network protocol used primarily on Linux and Unix based systems.
D It allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices.

Explanation

SSH provides secure remote login and other network services over insecure networks. Its transport layer supplies authentication, confidentiality, and integrity, enabling protected data exchange between devices. SSH is commonly used for remote administration on Linux and Unix-based systems and supersedes insecure remote-shell protocols such as Telnet; it is not an Internet routing protocol.
