Concept of transmission through an SSH tunnel
Prerequisites:
TCP/IP network
The remote computer acts as SSH client
The control acts as SSH server
Key pair consisting of
Private key
Public key
An SSH connection is always set up between an SSH client and an
SSH server.
A key pair is used to protect the connection. This key pair is
generated on the client. The key pair consists of a private key and a
public key. The private key remains with the client. During setup, the
public key is transferred to the server and assigned to a certain user.
The client tries to connect to the server using the pre-defined user
name. The server can use the public key to verify that the requester
of the connection holds the associated private key. If yes, the server
accepts the SSH connection and assigns it to the user that has been
used for the login. Communication can then be "tunneled" through
this SSH connection.
