A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Secure Shell Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: SSH Transport Layer Protocol
	Author(s)	: T. Ylonen, T. Kivinen, M. Saarinen, T. Rinne, S. Lehtinen

SSH is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network
services over an insecure network.
This document describes the SSH transport layer protocol which
typically runs on top of TCP/IP.  The protocol can be used as a
basis for a number of secure network services.  It provides strong
encryption, server authentication, and integrity protection.  It
may also provide compression.
Key exchange method, public key algorithm, symmetric encryption
algorithm, message authentication algorithm, and hash algorithm
are all negotiated.
This document also describes the Diffie-Hellman key exchange
method and the minimal set of algorithms that are needed to
implement the SSH transport layer protocol.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-secsh-transport-17.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
