Encryption Method
Once the identification is verified, both the client and server must agree on the type of encryption
method to use.
3
Authentication and Data Transmission
After the identification is verified and data encryption activated, a secure tunnel is established
between the client and the server. The client then sends its authentication information (user name
and password) to the server to log in to the server.
15.5.2 SSH Implementation on the NWA1000 Series
Your NWA1000 Series supports SSH versions 1 and 2 using RSA authentication and four encryption
methods (AES, 3DES, Archfour, and Blowfish). The SSH server is implemented on the NWA1000 Series for
management using port 22 (by default).
15.5.3 Requirements for Using SSH
You must install an SSH client program on a client computer (Windows or Linux operating system) that is
used to connect to the NWA1000 Series over SSH.
