SSH

Also called secure shell, sshd, public key authentication

Encrypted remote login and commands, on TCP port 22, with passwords or keys.

The server proves its identity with a host key the client remembers. Users log in with a password or, better, a key pair. Keys remove password guessing entirely; PasswordAuthentication no turns passwords off.
