Lsh is a GPLed implementation of the Secure SHell protocol version 2 (SSH2), a secure replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp.

This package contains the lsh utilities. This includes programs such as lsh-keygen, lsh-writekey (both programs for public/private key generation), lsh-authorize (for automatic remote key authentication), ssh-conv (utilities for converting between various public and private key formats), and a number of other utilities for use with both the lsh server and client.

In some countries it may be illegal to use any encryption at all without a special permit.
