SSH encrypts the channel using a similar set of encryption algorithems, which may infact even be carried out by the same routines in the openssl library, but the handshake is very different, no host certificate and signatures involved and authentication is not skipable to the best of my knowledge. its protocol also allows for multiple substreams to allow TCP and X tunneling. in other words, it's a completely seperate protocol, non-interchangable. ===
