I'm looking for a VNC variant with builtin encryption support (no SSH tunnel) supporting Unix/Java/Windows.
tightvnc/realvnc are "dead" - the only relevant successor seems to be tigervnc, which lacks encryption support. So, are there any (concrete) plans for adding encryption support? If not, I'll probably port the TLS/X509 tunnling type patches from http://e9925248.users.sourceforge.net/ to tigervnc. One year ago, the biggest oposition against these patches was, that they use gnutls and not NSS. I don't have enough knowlege about NSS (and currently not enough time to aquire it) to port the patches to NSS. So I'll stick with gnutls. I intend to publish the resulting version. I see two options: 1) merge them into the tigervnc code base 2) resurrect vencrypt project and publish them there I would like to avoid option 2 - there are enough VNC variants out there; but if gnutls is a no-go, I will have to go this way. Merging a gnutls based version does not mean, that tighervnc has to stick with gnutls forever. If there is somebody really interessted in NSS, he can port tigervnc from gnutls to NSS. Comments?
