I think your original question was answered in a previous post - there is no built-in security in the vnc stream.
However, there is a vnc variant, called zvnc, that may be worth checking out if you want simple encryption and compression that's a no-brainer to use. It uses zebedee and is fully compatible with other vnc variants. I currently use zvnc over dsl from home to work because it's simply the fastest under my circumstances. Any additional security provided by the zebedee tunnel is really just a bonus in my case, but it's probably at least comparable to pcA, if not better...
