I connect to my home computer from work using RDP. I'm curious as to what
encrption is goign on between the two comptuers. If my IS department decides
to start to capture packages exactly what will they see? I write emails, on
my remote machine and surf the net occasionally. Does XP provide secure 128
bit encrption between the two comptuers? If not is there any 3rd party
utilities that I can run in order to accomplish this?
