SAS = Subject-action service. This is a web-based service that allows users to run remote
sessions on a server. It is not a REST API though it does use HTTP. The basic operation is
that a client registers, sending their public key. They have an SAS-aware client that can
log them in and all traffic uses pretty good privacy (initial exchange uses public/private keys,
then a shared symmetric key is created). All exchanges are encrypted, so this can even be
done over HTTP rather than HTTPS.
On the server side, sessions are managed and the user may run multiple sessions. This means that your server can run headless but you can still get nice GUI or other sessions locally.
