SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3


SSH3: faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3, checkout our article here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.08396 and our Internet-Draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-michel-ssh3/ - francoismi...

While SSHv2 defines its own protocols for user authentication and secure channel establishment, SSH3 relies on the robust and time-tested mechanisms of TLS 1.3, QUIC and HTTP. By replacing<my-long-secret> by, let's say, the random value M3MzkxYWMxMjYxMjc5YzJkODZiMTAyMjU, your SSH3 server will only answer to SSH3 connection attempts made to the URL https://192.0.2.0:443/M3MzkxYWMxMjYxMjc5YzJkODZiMTAyMjU and it will respond a 404 Not Found to other requests. NOTE WELL: placing your SSH3 server behind a secret URL may reduce the impact of scanning attacks but will and must never replace classical authentication mechanisms.
