Secure VNC

[BloF]

Thanks for your reply.
I built the client, and I'll use any VNC SERVER...
Any Server encrypts/decrypts the data? Or I'll have to
change the server myself?

Nope this is not possible.  

Securing your data consists of 3 parts:
1) the en-coding of the data
2) sending the data and
3) the de-coding of the data

Either 1) or 3) needs to be done on the server (take
your pick).

Weither or not your server already is configured to do
the encoding /
decoding, and therefore does not need to be modified? 
 Well that is
something you'll have to tell us 8-)
