Be warned: THis only secures the transmission of the HTML page and the Java app. Not the RFB communication, that is still on prot 5900!

If security is an issue, don't use the webserver or java browser. Better play some hide and seek with the communicaiton and scrambel that one: put the rfb communication (port 5900) to an other port and scramble that.
