Re: verify RSA 2048

The mechanism to encrypt the information will be negotiated as stated by

http://www.openssh.org/txt/draft-ietf-secsh-architecture-12.txt
-------snip
3.3 Policy Issues

The protocol allows _full_negotiation_of_encryption_, integrity, key
exchange, compression, and public key algorithms and formats.
Encryption, integrity, public key, and compression algorithms can be
different for each direction.
-------snip

Options may be:
Ciphers:
AES-*, twofish, blowfish, 3des, rc4
MACs:
MD5, SHA1

Use "ssh -vvv" if you want to see what you actually use for each connection.

This goes along with my question on decrypting ssh
From what I gather ssh does not use RSA to encrypt. It uses RSA to Authenticate.
And uses a faster method to form a secure channel.
I'm kind of curious as to what others have to say I could be mislead.
I would like to know if there is a way to increase the amount of
encryption that ssh uses
and by your question I think you would also be interested.
