SSHBlackbox (ActiveX/DLL) 7.0

SSHBlackbox (ActiveX/DLL) 7.0 is a collection of ActiveX controls for SSH support in your C++, Visual Basic, VBScript and VBA applications.

SSH (Secure Shell) is the standard for secure file transfer and remote logins over the internet. SSH offers flexible authentication, encryption and compression schemes for better performance of internet communications. SSH was originally developed by commercial organization for securing remote shell access. The protocol supports tunneling multiple TCP connections over one secured connection.

Why choose SSHBlackbox?

• You can implement Secure Shell access or execute remote commands in minutes with ElSimpleSSHClient component;
• When you need to use port forwarding functionality, it is easy using ElSimple*PortForwarding components;
• You can build SSH servers yourself using ElSSHServer component;
• With help of ElSSHClient component you can get complete control over the SSH connection, including multiple tunnels;
• Free individual or public support is available from the very beginning of your evaluation and development

SSHBlackbox is compatible with all major SSH / SFTP servers and clients on the market.

This is ActiveX edition which can be used with Visual Basic, C++ or other development tool which supports ActiveX controls.

Licensing and use

SSHBlackbox can be licensed in one of the following packages:

• SecureBlackbox Standard
• SecureBlackbox Transports
• SFTPBlackbox client-only
• SSHBlackbox client-only

ActiveX edition of SSHBlackbox can be used on Windows systems.
For development you can use one of the following development tools:

• Visual C++ (VC)
• Visual Basic 6 (VB 6)
• VBScript
• Visual Basic for Applications
• any other development tool that supports ActiveX controls or dynamically-linked libraries (DLLs)

Major Features:

1. SSH Protocol implementation contains the following features, common to both client-side and server-side components:
   • support for SSH 2 protocol  in client and server components;
   • support for SSH 1 protocol in client components;
   • support for public-key, host-based, password-based, keyboard-interactive, OpenPGP key and X.509 certificate authentication ;
   • support for use of multiple authentication types at the same time ;
   • flexible support for key validation ;
   • support for RSA and DSA public key algorithms ;
   • data encryption with AES (128 to 256 bit), Triple DES (3DES), DES, Blowfish, Twofish, Serpent (128 to 256 bit), CAST128 algorithms ;
   • integrity checking using SHA1 and MD5 algorithms ;
     ZLib compression ;
   • asynchronous operation mode which lets you easily build synchronous and asynchronous applications ;
   • data transfer using events/callbacks, i.e. possibility to secure not only socket-based, but also other types of data exchange (optional) FIPS-compliant operation mode 
2. SSH Tunnels are supported by client-side and server-side components. Support options include:
   • support for shell, command, port forwarding (local and remote), X11 and custom subsystem tunnels ;
   • support for SFTP subsystem (SFTPBlackbox is required);
   • support for dynamic tunnels (SSH2 only). With dynamic tunnels one can create and
   • close logical connections within single SSH connection ;
   • possibility to create custom subsystem handlers 
3. SSH Keys management lets you create and manage SSH keys, necessary to authenticate the clients and servers in SSH mode. Key management offers:
   • generation of RSA and DSA (DSS) keys;
   • saving and loading of SSH keys in OpenSSH, IETF and PuTTY formats;
   • support for key length from 512 to 16384 bits;
4. ElSimpleSSHClient is a basic SSH client, which encapsulates several SSH components inside and offers:
   • shell or command tunnel inside ;
   • (optional) built-in TCP socket with support for WebTunneling (HTTP CONNECT) and SOCKS proxies ;
   • synchronous interface ;
   • bandwidth control ;
   • IPv6 support 
5. PKI Infrastructure - besides SSH features, SSHBlackbox includes base functions of PKIBlackbox.

Enhancements: FIPS-compliant mode of operations IPv6 support
