Creating Random Seed

The first time you start the F-Secure SSH Client, a random seed generator will be launched. The random seed needs to be generated before any host or user keys can be generated. The random seed functions as the starting point for creating the keys. The random seed is also used to create randomness in all encryption processes and TCP packets.

To create the random seed, move your mouse pointer in the window until the progress indicator reaches the end. When the random seed has been generated, F-Secure SSH Client will be launched.
