SkyNet is an application which manages the secure linking of webOS (and other) devices together over the internet.

It uses secure exchange of ssh keys, and management of restricted rsync command lines in the authorized_keys file, to allow secure, managed, authorized transfers of files between devices.

It can also be used to set up secure tunnels and VPN networks of devices using openvpn.

All actions must be carefully controlled and authorised by the user, lest it become the SkyNet of the Terminator variety ...

Discussion welcome on how we achieve this.
