− Encryption mode – click on the drop-down arrow to select one of the following:
No Encryption: Nothing is secure. The communication channel is open to anyone to
read and there is no data encryption.
SSL authentication, NO data encryption: Usernames and passwords are secured,
but KVM transmissions are not. 128-bit
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol
provides a private communications channel between the KX unit and the Remote PC
during initial connection authentication. No encryption security in place during
remote KVM data transfer.
during initial connection authentication. No encryption security in place during
remote KVM data transfer.
SSL authentication, data encryption: Secures user names, passwords and KVM
data, including video transmissions. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
provides a private communications channel between the KX unit and the Remote PC
during initial connection authentication. After authentication, KVM data is also
transferred with 128-bit encryption, but using a protocol much more efficient than
SSL (RC4 encryption, but without SSL headers). Raritan recommends this option.

not designed for KVM communication, this mode is less efficient but no more secure
