Abstract

This memo describes a key-exchange method for the Secure Shell (SSH)protocol based on Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) public-key encryption.It uses much less client CPU time than the Diffie-Hellman algorithmspecified as part of the core protocol, and hence is particularlysuitable for slow client systems.
