Abstract :
The time when embedded devices and factory-floor machines had only minimal interaction with humans is gone. Today, the ability to access a device from anywhere is expected. This is a significant challenge when we are heavily constrained by hardware size and costs. However, with commonly available software components and a little knowledge, we can incorporate a "universal" access interface for data gathering/surveillance that maintains a small footprint and that is secure
