Plans for MidpSSH
The next major features on the horizon for MidpSSH revolve around improving the security of the application.
The first is password protection of the application itself; to prevent anyone else from using it to connect to your servers. Currently you are encouraged to store your username and password in MidpSSH as it is so hard to type reasonable passwords on a phone keyboard! Also if you’re using public-key authentication then anyone can use your key to access your servers. Password protecting MidpSSH will prevent anyone accessing it without your password and will also encrypt your configuration data (including session information and keys) so that people can’t gain access to it either.
Secondly the HTTP proxy solution will be improved and documented properly. Finally I have had feedback from Aleksy Schubert of Warsaw University regarding some improvements that can be made to the implementation of SSH in MidpSSH to make it more robust.
I’ll announce testing releases and further news here.
