SSH is short for Secure Shell. As the name implies, the protocol
creates a secure terminal connection between an SSH client and an
SSH server. This means that embedded systems can communicate at
the application level over a connection that is encrypted and provides
data integrity and replay protection. This effectively eliminates
eavesdropping, connection hijacking, IP spoofing and other network-level
attacks.
Additionally, Embedded SSH provides several secure tunnelling capabilities
which may be used to create Virtual Private Networks (VPN). A variety
of authentication methods is also supported.
The Interpeak Embedded SSH server is optimized for deployment in
embedded systems, and delivered in ANSI compliant C source code,
with ready-to-run RTOS integration containing makefiles etc.
