The network communication layer supports IPv6, and the SSH protocol supports the delayed compression scheme. It also can emulate control sequences from xterm, VT220, VT102 or ECMA-48 terminal emulation, and allows local, remote, or dynamic port forwarding with SSH (including X11 forwarding). PuTTY supports SSO through GSSAPI, including user provided GSSAPI DLLs. PuTTY uses its own format of key files – PPK (protected by Message Authentication Code). PuTTY supports many variations on the secure remote terminal, and provides user control over the SSH encryption key and protocol version, alternate ciphers such as AES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, DES, and Public-key authentication. PuTTY was written and is maintained primarily by Simon Tatham, a British programmer.
