When using Remote Desktop Connection, is the information being sent back and forth securely, as in SSL? Are usernames and passwords secure? When connecting to a remote server through Remote Desktop Connection, is the server required to use, at minimum, a self-signed ssl certificate in order to secure the data sent back and forth? I'm simply wanting to know if my info going through Remote Desktop Connection is secure or not. I'm connecting from a Win7 PC to a Windows 2008 R2 Web Server. Thanks for your help!

by default the connection is SSL encrypted with a self signed cert. you should et a warning on first connection or optionally on every connection about this. You can use a signed cert if paranoid.
