Secure shell.  Check out: http://www.ssh.fi/

Allows encrypted connections from one host to another, supports various 
forms of user authentication.  However it is less than free, especially the
second version of ssh.  lsh is a GNU attempt at a free version that supports
the SSH2 protocol, however it is still in alpha.
