Host Identification

The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server 

identifies itself with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated 

session key with the host key and server key and sends the result back to the 

server.
The client automatically saves any new server public keys. In subsequent 

connections, the server public key is checked against the saved version on the 

client computer.
