Encryption and Unattended Access

MSP360Connect for iOS sends all the data over an HTTPS channel (which means the data is secure from being stolen).

However, you can enable additional encryption on the remote host side - with the encryption key known only to you. While regular sessions require only a Computer ID and PIN, encrypted sessions also require an encryption key that has to be transferred from the remote host to the client-side via another way of interconnection.

The application uses the RSA algorithm to encrypt sessions. The encryption can be enabled by clicking the Encryption switch. Once enabled, the remote host should provide you with the encryption key, so you must specify the encryption key in the open window:

Click the switch to enable the text-field or read the key from a file. The encryption key has to be specified only once, then it will always be used when establishing a connection. The encryption key is never changed unless it is manually regenerated on the remote host. A regenerated encryption key should be sent again to all users who want to connect to the remote host computer.
