Related software

Several pieces of third-party software incorporate parts of the PuTTY code, or augment PuTTY in other ways, to provide facilities not available from PuTTY itself. We list some of them here, with no recommendation implied. We have no control over this code, so we can't vouch for either its quality or its security.

The SSH (Secure Shell) Remote Login Protocol
We don't know of a reference for the SCP protocol (which is basically BSD rcp).

Telnet specifications

Rlogin specification

RFC 1282: BSD Rlogin

HTTP specifications

X Window System

X Window System Protocol
X Display Manager Control Protocol, including the definition of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1.

FIPS PUB 197: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
RFC 1321: The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
FIPS PUB 180-2: Secure Hash Signature Standard (SHS) defines secure hash functions SHA-1 and SHA-512.
RFC 2104: HMAC: Keyed Hashing for Message Authentication defines a generic wrapper mechanism that converts a hash function such as MD5 or SHA-1 into a secure MAC.
FIPS PUB 186-2: Digital Signature Standard (DSS) defines the digital signature algorithm DSA.
RFC 3447: Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1: RSA Cryptography Specifications version 2.1 defines the basic RSA encryption and signature algorithms as well as specific padding schemes to turn them into a set of well defined operations on byte strings.
The precise form of Diffie-Hellman key exchange used in SSH-2 is defined in the SSH-2 transport layer specification: see the SSH-2 section above.
