Yep, that's the complication that scares me. I have an application that runs in 
an 
embedded device. Currently, it is browser based, running through SSL, using 
AMFPHP to 
execute shell_exec() commands to run low-level Unix scripts to configure the 
devices.

The project managers now want to remove the app from the browser and use AIR, 
and 
connect via a binary socket to call and run those UNIX scripts. I have all the 
root access 
permissions I need. But using a secure connection like SSH would be the cat's 
meow. I can 
currently do everything I need through sockets with Telnet but there is no 
security layer on 
it (that I know of) and that just isn't gonna fly with the execs.
