The following components of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> use encryption to
|
|
protect sensitive data:

<li>

|
|
When using the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-ext"/> provided by
|
|
Oracle for VRDP remote desktop support, RDP data can
|
|
optionally be encrypted. See <xref href="vrde-crypt.dita#vrde-crypt"/>.
|
|
Only the Enhanced RDP Security method (RDP5.2) with TLS
|
|
protocol provides a secure connection. Standard RDP Security
|
|
(RDP4 and RDP5.1) is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle
|
|
attack.

When using the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-ext"/> provided by
|
|
Oracle for disk encryption, the data stored in disk images
|
|
can optionally be encrypted. See
|
|
<xref href="diskencryption.dita#diskencryption"/>. This feature covers disk
|
|
image content only. All other data for a virtual machine is
|
|
stored unencrypted, including the VM's memory and device
|
|
state which is stored as part of a saved state, both when
|
|
created explicitly or part of a snapshot of a running VM.
