Nope.  However, a VNC session is easily encrypted using a tunneling program,
such as SSH (http://www.openssh.org) or Zebedee
(http://www.winton.org.uk/zebedee).

There is a CORE SDI advisory about the VNC authentication protocol and how 
it is vulnerable to a man in the middle attack.  This advisory was for 
3.3.3.  Has it been corrected in the current implementations?

thanks
