s about SSH protocol
Hello everyone, here are a few questions I have about SSL. Based on my understanding, it seems this protocol is important for secure Remote Desktop access. 1. Are all Remote Desktop apps like TeamViewer using SSL? If not, why? I thought it should be very secure. 2. When connecting via SSL from Linux, can you see other computers' screens? I’ve only seen people viewing files and similar content.
The choice varies by protocol. Some services like VNC don’t work with it, but it can go through an encrypted channel. SSH is used for terminals, while VNC handles remote desktops.
The choice to skip SSL or encryption isn’t due to security concerns but mainly performance issues. Heavy encryption adds noticeable delays, especially on weaker hardware or with slow connections. When you’re on the same network, extra encryption isn’t necessary and can waste valuable CPU cycles and bandwidth. I usually turn on the highest available encryption for my RDP/xRDP sessions unless I’m connecting through a VPN, in which case standard encryption is more than sufficient.
The definition of secure is still unclear from the information provided. The choices made for AES seem based on practical factors rather than specific internal decisions. There appears to be interest in hardware support and adherence to U.S. encryption regulations. For further details, consider researching related topics online. Also, exploring local user groups might offer additional insights.
