Kenji Rikitake is Giving the Following Talks
Erlang secure RPC and the SSH module


Remote Procedure Call (RPC) over public Internet has to be cryptographically protected for secure communication. In the current Distributed Erlang, this cannot be done in a firewall-friendly way.

This presentation provides an introduction of writing code using Secure Shell (SSH) protocol on Erlang with Erlang/OTP ssh module, and a description of an RPC method based on SSH subsystem implemented on Erlang.
