- Spiped is a utility for creating symmetrically encrypted and authenticated pipes between socket addresses.
- It uses strong cryptographic components like HMAC-SHA256, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, AES-256 in CTR mode, and HMAC-SHA256 for encryption and authentication.
- Spiped operates at approximately 300 Mbps on a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 laptop.
- Example usage includes setting up encrypted pipes for email transmission and protecting SSH servers from attackers.
- Spiped can be configured to automatically connect via the spipe client, enhancing SSH security.
- Development and discussions for spiped occur in its git repository and mailing list.
- Official releases of spiped are listed with version numbers, release dates, and SHA256 hashes.
- Third-party helper scripts exist for deploying spiped, including a Docker image.
