Encryption

These flexible encryption alternatives for keyboard/mouse, video, and virtual media data let you choose any combination of DES; 3DES; AES; RC4; or a Random cycle of any or all of them.

Enabling encryption affects system performance – no encryption offers the best performance; the greater the encryption the greater the adverse effect. If you enable encryption, the performance considerations are as follows:

ŠRC4 offers the least impact on performance; DES is next; then 3DES or

AES

ŠThe RC4 + DES combination offers the least impact of any combination
