| 14 | When using the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack provided by
|
|---|
| 15 | Oracle for VRDP remote desktop support, RDP data can
|
|---|
| 16 | optionally be encrypted. See <xref href="vrde-crypt.dita#vrde-crypt"/>.

| 17 | Only the Enhanced RDP Security method (RDP5.2) with TLS
|
|---|
| 18 | protocol provides a secure connection. Standard RDP Security
|
|---|
| 19 | (RDP4 and RDP5.1) is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle
|
|---|
| 20 | attack.

| 25 | When using the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack provided by
|
|---|
| 26 | Oracle for disk encryption, the data stored in disk images
|
|---|
| 27 | can optionally be encrypted. See
|
|---|
| 28 | <xref href="diskencryption.dita#diskencryption"/>. This feature covers disk
|
|---|
| 29 | image content only. All other data for a virtual machine is
|
|---|
| 30 | stored unencrypted, including the VM's memory and device
|
|---|
| 31 | state which is stored as part of a saved state, both when
|
|---|
| 32 | created explicitly or part of a snapshot of a running VM.
