“OpenBSD announced… the launch of OpenBSD 2.6, the first
computer operating system to integrate the free open source OpenSSH
secure communication tools in the base system. Already
regarded by many security experts as the most secure OS on the
Internet, OpenBSD now comes even closer to being “Secure by
Default”.
“”We’ve been trying for over two years to build a free version
of SSH to ship with the system” says Theo de Raadt, OpenBSD project
leader. “We now have a complete, secure and stable system to work
from…”
“In addition to OpenSSH, OpenBSD integrates a full complement of
strong cryptographic algorithms to further enhance the security of
the operating system. The OS is published in Canada and all crypto
development is done outside the USA to avoid the US government’s
export prohibitions.
“Based on UC Berkeley’s 4.4BSD-Lite, OpenBSD 2.6 was developed
by a team of Internet volunteers.”
