libSSH is a platform-independent library for the client side
of an SSH (Secure Shell) connection.

This library uses cryptogaphic software written by Eric Young
(eay@cryptsoft.com).  The package in reference is SSLeay and its
associated libraries (ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSL).
The current version of libSSH uses SSLeay-0.8.1.

This library uses the zlib compession library by Jean-loup Gailly
and Mark Adler.  http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ 



This library is based off SSH protocol version 1.5 developed by
Tatu Ylonen and published in draft-ylonen-ssh-protocol-00.txt
and dated 15 November 1995.  It's a wonderful protocol and has
gained incredible popularity.  libSSH and its derivitive WinSSH
started as attempts to provide freely available SSH clients for
Windows 95/NT machines.  Hopefully this "platform-independant" library
will find its way into other programs as well.


Features of libSSH 0.0.1 beta:
	* supports RSA and password authentication
	* supports IDEA, Blowfish, 3DES, DES ciphers
	* provides ZLIB compression
	* provides RSA key generation
