SSHD

z/OS OpenSSH provides secure encryption for both remote login and file transfer. Some of the utilities that it includes are:
ssh
a z/OS client program for logging into a z/OS shell. It can also be used to log into other platform's UNIX shells. It is an alternative to rlogin.
scp
for copying files between networks. It is an alternative to rcpt.
sftp
for file transfers over an encrypted ssh transport. It is an interactive file transfer program similar to ftp.
sshd
a daemon program for ssh that listens for connections from clients. The z/OS OpenSSH implementation of sshd supports SSH protocol version 2. SSH protocol version 1 is no longer supported.

With the IBM Z Security and Compliance Center, you can automatically collect data from SMF Type 1154 Subtype 78 to check whether z/OS OpenSSH sshd daemon is configured to only use the SSHv2 protocol, check whether OpenSSH is running in FIPS 140-2 mode with all applicable cipher algorithms implemented using ICSF, and more.
