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.

I am using OpenSSH version 4.3p2.  I was wondering how I could verify
that the data going from one computer to another over the internet is
using RSA 2048.  I set both of the keys on each machine to that bit
strength.  Is there a tool out there that I can you that could verify
that the information is being sent at 2048 or is even being encrypted?

Thanks,
