Securing an iPhone / iPod touch with installed SSH Server

<p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">Many iPhone owners have installed an application for the iPhone that provides SSH - Secure Shell - server functionality. This implies the accessability from external hardware such as PCs or Macs. However, this access is not suffieciently secured as it does use standard credentials.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">Many incident have already ocurred in which an unauthorized access has happened. This can cost a lot of money by losing important data, abuse of sensitive credentials or system destruction. However, the usage of SSH is very comfortable for loading files to an external machine.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">The most recent incident was a Worm that requested some money from the iPhone users to secure the iPhone.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">The solution should be usable on Max OS X, Windows and Linux, because I am using all three systems. It is does not matter, if the solution is usable using some tools or the command-line.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
