For now, you could use SSH tunnels to encrypt your VNC traffic. I am

Is using VNC over SSH an option? I use this quite a bit at work.

Using SSH you also get a telnet-like remote command prompt for NT, which is
great, especially if you have the NT Resource Kit installed with all its
command-li
e insecurity in there *.chf files, but that's it.
Case closed.

Hi David,
the zero data security is what prevents me from using vnc in my business.
The people here will say to simply setup some other kind of encryption like
ssh. However, I have found there is nothing simple about that.
It really blows my mind that they don't incorporate open ssl in vnc, but
If you are concerned about data between devices, you need to use a transport
layer encryption mechanism, like IPsec, ssh or similar. With compression,
the data at least becomes obscured, but things like Ethereal can reassemble
streams if they have a plug-in developed for the purpose.
