Hello:<br />
<br />
I commonly use VNC to connect to my home computer when I'm out and about. I'm currently using RealVNC.<br />
<br />
It says that on their site, the password portion has some basic encryption, but everything else is in the clear. What would be an easy low cost solution (preferably free) to having a secure connection? And how would I implement that?<br />
<br />
I'm using XP professional. The more information the better. Thanks =)

Secure VNC connection

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
