What is the difference between SSH v2 and SSH v1 protocol?

SSH1 and SSH2 are different, and incompatible, protocols. The SSH v1 implementation is based on the V1.5 protocol and 1.3.7 F-Secure code base, and the SSH2 implementation is based on the V2 protocol and the F-Secure 3.1.0 code base. While SSH v2 is generally regarded to be more secure than SSH v1, both protocols are offered by the SSH for OpenVMS server, and although they are incompatible, they may exist simultaneously on an SSH for OpenVMS system. The server front-end identifies what protocol a client desires to use, and will create an appropriate server for that client.
