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.
