RE: Secure / Encrypt Terminal Services

There was a pretty decent paper on securityfocus about 2 months ago about doing this a number of ways. I will search and provide the link below if I find it.

My suggestion would be to use an encrypted tunnel between client and server, whether this uses an app like stunnel, or a VPN providing encryption is up to you.

I have used stunnel, and zebedee to do a few various services using encryption, and I believe zebedee to work fine for terminal services. You will want to read the link above.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Does the community have an opinion on which is the best way to do this? Can it be done via IP-Sec? Basically we have a machine (tripwire manager) that will have access to all our networks. Due to politics (gotta love security made insecure by politics) it must be remotely managed. The CIO (god bless CIO's) has decided that we will use terminal services. Is there a way to encrypt the traffic so it is not flying around the network in clear text? Would IP-Sec be the recomended solution?

Suggestions or links (or gentle shoves) to the information would be great.

Do you need help?
