How Secure Shell Works (SSH)
The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol was a great invention. Nowadays we use it without a thought about how it works. In today’s nerd break, you’ll learn about how the data sent over the wire is encrypted, and much more. Dr. Steve Bagley will be your guide.

Basically the client first contacts the server to initiate a connection. The server then responds by sending the client its public key and opens a secure channel for the client. The client then encrypts its messages using the server's public key, which only the server can decrypt using its private key. Therefore a man-in-the-middle attack should be avoided. You can find more details on wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_(Secure_Shell) ). Cheers. :-)
