The difference between SSL( HTTPS) protocol and SSH protocol?
SSL and SSH they are all have the same functionality, which is Encryption. Both are Cryptographic Network protocols.
Let’s take a deep dive into their application:
SSL: We use SSL to encrypt communication between Browser and Server. As when we login to the facebook, when we trigger data from google, loading some beautiful photos on pexels…etc
SSH: We use SSL to encrypt communication between Two Computers. One computer securely accessing a remote computer → Copy Files Between Computers, host a git repo on another old computer in your house instead of using GitHub as your remote backup .
There are older less secure alternatives to SSH such as telnet, and FTP.
SSH also supports public-key cryptography which has a number of security benefits over traditional password-based authentication.
Once you’ve created these two files, the general idea is that you can log into remote computers by distributing the public key to the server you want to log into. The private key will always be kept secret on your machine, and you’ll need it every time you want to log into a remote computer. Maybe it will help you fastly make authentication and access to the remote safer and faster than loging in by password-based.
