Deslogin is a remote login program which may be used safely
across insecure networks. With deslogin, you may log into a
secure remote host from a secure local host without worry about
your login password or session information being made visible
across the network. Deslogin is a simple stand-alone client and
server, which may be used on machines which don't have more
sophisticated security packages such as SPX or Kerberos. No
centralized key distribution package is required. Unlike unix
login programs, authentication relies upon arbitrarily long pass
phrases rather than eight-character user passwords.
Deslogin uses the United States Data encryption standard to
implement challenge/response user authentication and, once
connected, to encrypt all information flowing to or from your
session. This allows you to safely use su or login or edit
sensitive information while on the remote host.
Deslogin is available via anonymous ftp from:
ftp.uu.net:/pub/security/des/deslogin-1.3.tar.gz
The 1.3 release fixes bugs with updating utmp and adds support
for Sun's Solaris.
A new directory, deslogin-client-bins, has been added which
contains precompiled clients. This makes it drastically easier
when traveling to a remote site which doesn't have deslogin
installed.
