SSH Client

The software implementation that enables a user or an automated process to remotely access an SSH server. An SSH client is responsible for reliably performing all of the operations necessary to ensure a secure connection, including generating identity keys, prompting users to verify host keys, authenticating and establishing encrypted connections with SSH servers, prompting users for credentials, performing public key authentication, etc.
