SSH and SSL

SSH and SSL are both public-key cryptography tunneling protocols and aims to create a secure, confidential exchange of data and connection across the internet.

SSH means “Secure Shell”.
SSL means “Secure Sockets Layer”. Many protocols — like HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and SSH  were adjusted to include the support of SSL.

SSH often uses SSL under the hood, so they are both as secure as each other.
