Secure Shell
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

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.
