Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) T. Richardson Request for Comments: 6143 J. Levine Category: Informational RealVNC Ltd. ISSN: 2070-1721 March 2011 The Remote Framebuffer Protocol Abstract RFB ("remote framebuffer") is a simple protocol for remote access to graphical user interfaces that allows a client to view and control a window system on another computer. Because it works at the framebuffer level, RFB is applicable to all windowing systems and applications. This document describes the protocol used to communicate between an RFB client and RFB server. RFB is the protocol used in VNC. Status of This Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF…

Security Overview

General, Technology
OpenVPN cryptographic layer This is a technical overview of OpenVPN's cryptographic layer, and assumes a prior understanding of modern cryptographic concepts. For additional discussion on OpenVPN security. OpenVPN has two authentication modes: Static Key -- Use a pre-shared static key TLS -- Use SSL/TLS + certificates for authentication and key exchange In static key mode, a pre-shared key is generated and shared between both OpenVPN peers before the tunnel is started. This static key contains 4 independent keys: HMAC send, HMAC receive, encrypt, and decrypt. By default in static key mode, both hosts will use the same HMAC key and the same encrypt/decrypt key. However, using the direction parameter to --secret, it is possible to use all 4 keys independently. In SSL/TLS mode, an SSL session is established with bidirectional…

Circuit Network Components

E3, General, Research, Technology
In the context of RFC 2547bis, our PCC is a collection of policies, and these policies control connectivity among a set of sites. A customer site becomes a node connected to our backbone and their private communication circuit ports, where we provide each port with a VPN routing table. In RFC 2547bis terms, the VPN is then dynamically defined to support forwarding and the PCC.
