Mosh Zero Standing Privilege

Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) means no dormant credentials. No long-lived keys lurking in memory. No session tokens waiting to be reused. In a world of constant breach attempts, standing privilege is a liability. Attackers seek what is static. They exploit what persists. The only way to close the gap is to remove persistence entirely.

Mosh—Mobile Shell—keeps interactive sessions stable over unreliable networks. It survives roaming and IP changes. But traditional shells still open a tunnel that holds privilege. That tunnel is a target. Mosh Zero Standing Privilege changes the model. Each keystroke is authenticated in the moment. Nothing lasting remains on the server or client once the interaction ends.

With Mosh ZSP, access exists only while it is being used. Once the session drops, nothing valid remains. No residual tokens in memory. No long-term SSH keys exposed. Even if an attacker gains access to the network stream, they cannot replay it to gain entry. This is real-time privilege with zero standing exposure.

The architecture combines ephemeral, short-lived authentication with Mosh’s UDP-based transport. Connection setup is fast. Session continuity is smooth. Security hardening is embedded. You get the resilience of Mosh with the safety of ZSP. It is not just less vulnerable—it is fundamentally different from any static-access shell.

Teams enforcing least privilege can adopt Mosh Zero Standing Privilege without losing productivity. Remote work? Flaky connections? The shell stays usable. The privilege dies as soon as you stop typing. Compliance goals align with this design. There is nothing for attackers to steal after the fact.
