We have a bunch of data we want to send to a flash app on Pocket PC, Windows, or Mac OS X over an encrypted channel. It's binary data and we need to keep it secure.

Is the flash media server good for this ?

How do we get the data into the flash media server? Can it connect to a socket?

Can a standalone player still access the media server using an encrypted (SSL) channel?

    You can connect to a FMS server via a SSL connection. This is supported by default. You can send data over the encrypted line or you even stream video over that encrypted line, which is ofcourse a burden for server and client since they both need to encrypt and decrypt the data. Besides that there is overhead on all data transferred. For simple data transfer (like logins, names, addresses etc) the SSL link will do fine.
