I'm almost certain it's a joke, the question is for how much longer? The crypto interoperability issues are amusing, thiugh I do seriously wonder how you deal with anything from a 10 to 40 minute round trip time.

You have caching servers and set really, really long timeouts.

The same way we deal with speed-of-light delay on earth: CDNs, asynchronous protocols like email, or just ignoring it when we can get away with it (e.g. "instant" messaging). SSH might be a bit tricky, but just pretend your system on mars is a production server and send it a tested bash file (using any of your favorite automation tools).

  What protocol do you use to securely send the bash file?

    Something that doesn't rely on round trips for error correction, I guess. AFAIK bandwidth is limited but is overall less of an extreme constraint than the RTT. Seems like a good use for forward error correction / sending parity data, like Reed-Solomon.

    Not exactly a protocol but interesting to read https://public.ccsds.org/default.aspx https://public.ccsds.org/default.aspx
