[mdlug] General questions on internet security

[Drew]

     I'm looking for a knowledgeable answer on the following: Does 
ssh (and sftp) encrypt the
entire session, or just the username-password info? Also, do "secure" 
webpages that get
username-password info from the user (eg, Monster, Gmail, etc.) 
encrypt both username
and password, or just the password? (Or neither?) How strong is the 
encryption in either
case?
