SKIP and ssh perform very different operations. SKIP is an IP-level
encryption engine (ala IP-SEC), whereas ssh is an application-level
encryption engine. You can run ssh on top of SKIP. And using SKIP I
can encrypt every single IP packet leaving my machine; you can't do
that with ssh.
Does this help?
