emSSH
Secure Shell Library for Protected Access to Embedded Systems
Enables secure remote access to server applications on embedded devices
Configurable for minimal memory footprint and high performance on small systems
Portable ANSI C implementation that is compiler- and target-independent
Key features
emSSH Secure Shell software library is designed to provide secure logon to an embedded system. It shares the emCrypt cryptography library with emSSL, emSecure-RSA, and emSecure-ECDSA, which reduces ROM requirements. Its key features ensure seamless integration, ease of use, and comprehensive functionality for secure communication across devices.
Compatible with SSHv2 Clients
emSSH seamlessly integrates with widely-used SSHv2 clients, ensuring interoperability across various software environments.
Secure Copy (SCP) add-on
Includes SCP support, enabling secure file transfers alongside secure shell operations, enhancing versatility in data management.
Intuitive API
Developers benefit from clear, comprehensive documentation and an intuitive API, reducing integration time and enhancing productivity.
Use Cases
emSSH offers a versatile and secure solution for a variety of remote communication needs, from native computer applications to embedded systems. Its robust features and high configurability make it an ideal choice for ensuring secure connections, data provisioning, and data transfer.
Generic Application
Data Transfer
Add Encryption to legacy Application
SEGGER's emSSH provides a secure, trusted connection with remote machines, enabling users to interact with them as if they were on the same network. This capability facilitates seamless access to the remote machine's environment, including servers and infrastructure.
emSSH enables secure and trusted transfer of backups and log files to remote servers via SCP. As SCP is bi-directional, it enables efficient data management by allowing devices to retrieve necessary files such as firmware updates and authentication data from the server.
The nature of SSH enables securing existing legacy applications by adding an SSH server between the legacy application server and the internet. Devices that shall connect with the original server now open a tunnel using an SSH client such as emSSH and use the resulting connection to communication with the original server as if it were connected directly to the device.
