Answer / soubhik das
Telnet is a protocol carried by tcp at port number 23 to access or get in to the network devices. But it is not secure. Password and username are in plane text mode. But we can encrypt manually by a command. In global configuration mode-" password encryption-address"
SSH- it is a secure shell where user can securely access to the network device. It also carried by Tcp at port no 22.
It send data in encrypted form(ASCII) by using RSA algorithm( using public and private key). For that SSL is required.

Answer / anoop john
SSH is a secured shocket shell where telnet is not a
secured one.
SSH using PORT 22 and telnet using Port 23.
when you ssh to trasnfer data between a system, the data
will be send in the encrypted form.
In telnet,the data send between
the system is alphabetical format(ASCII).
