The usual method is use a technic called tunneling. This is the way SSL, SSH, Kabede(sp?) and others work. The Ultra Vnc flavor is the only one which has encryption implemented ( in a "Plug-in"). If both server and client are ms-windows based you might want to use this flavor. If the server is Unix-like (linux, bsd, solaris, etc) then the easiest way is usually ssh (in my personal opinion). I've no expirience with SSL, nor the kaboodle (sp?), but I'm sure someone this list will give a couple of pointers on those! (People tend to have an almost religeous attitude to thier favorite solutions 8-) Jerry P.S. If you decide to implement a SSH protocol directly into a flavor of VNC, I'd be very interested in using it! > ________________________________________________________________________ > Dear Blof... > > > On Thu, 2004-03-11 at 22:31, BloF wrote: > > Hello, > > I Want to secure the VNC connection. > > I read about SSL, digital signature, certificates, > > public and private keys, mac.. and more > > > > Now I have 2 questions. > > > > 1)Why when I searched for security in VNC results > show > > mostly SSH, and what is the difference? > > > 2)Is it possible to secure the data transferred > > between the server and the client without changing > the > > server? > > > > Nope this is not possible. > > Securing your data consists of 3 parts: > 1) the en-coding of the data > 2) sending the data and > 3) the de-coding of the data > > Either 1) or 3) needs to be done on the server (take > your pick). > > Weither or not your server already is configured to do > the encoding / > decoding, and therefore does not need to be modified? > Well that is > something you'll have to tell us 8-) > > > > Thanks, BloF > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
