Secure shell (SSH) is a secure remote-login protocol.  SSH
provides for algorithms that provide authentication, key agreement,
confidentiality, and data-integrity services.  The purpose of this
document is to show how the AES Galois Counter Mode can be used to
provide both confidentiality and data integrity to the SSH Transport
Layer Protocol.  This memo provides information for the Internet 
community.
