Secure Shell (SSH) is a well known protocol and has widely available implementation that provide a secure connection tunneling solution. SSH provides a daemon on both the client and server sides of a connection. Clients connect to the local daemon rather than connecting directly to the server. The local SSH daemon then establishes a secure connection to the daemon on the server side. Communication is then routed from the client, through the client side daemon to the server side daemon and then on to the actual server. This enables a client/server program that uses an insecure protocol to be tunneled through a secure channel. For our purposes, the disadvantage of SSH is that it requires two hops to occur and that the implementations available do not perform and scale well enough. More information on SSH can be obtained from http:www.ssh.org Secure Sockets Layer Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a standard for the secure transmission of documents over the Internet using HTTPS (secure HTTP). SSL uses digital signatures to ensure that transmitted data is not tampered with.
A completely encrypted shell connection between two machines protected by a super long pass-phrase.
A program to log in to another system over a network and execute commands on that system. It also enables you to move files from one system to another, and it provides authentication and secure communications over insecure channels.
