SSH3 is a complete revisit of the SSH protocol, mapping its semantics on top of the HTTP mechanisms.
While SSH3 shows promise for faster session establishment, it is still at an early proof-of-concept stage.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Significantly faster session establishment.
- New HTTP authentication methods such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect in addition to classical SSH authentication.
- Robustness to port scanning attacks: your SSH3 server can be made invisible to other Internet users.
- UDP port forwarding in addition to classical TCP port forwarding.
- All the features allowed by the modern QUIC protocol: including connection migration (soon) and multipath connections.
