Secure Shell secures the connection over the Internet by encrypting passwords and other data. Once launched, it transparently provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure networks. With several million users in over 80 countries, it is the de-facto standard for remote logins, and increasingly many organizations are completely prohibiting any other form of access to their networks from the public Internet. Its main applications include Unix computers, system administration, Web site administration, and remote access to corporate resources over the Internet by employees or business partners. Product Pricing and Availability SSH Secure Shell 3.0 will be available in June for Windows, UNIX, Linux, and Sun Solaris platforms.
Exact pricing depends on customer deployment.
