Lists the available levels of encryption used to protect data sent between the client and the server. All levels use the standard RSA RC4 encryption.

The Low level encrypts data sent from the client to the server by using either a 40-bit or 56-bit key. A Windows 2000 Terminal server uses a 56-bit key when Windows 2000 clients connect to it and a 40-bit key when earlier versions of the client connect to it. This input-only encryption is used to protect sensitive data, such as a user password.

The Medium level encrypts data sent from client to server and from server to client by using either a 40-bit or a 56-bit key. A Windows 2000 Terminal server uses a 56-bit key when Windows 2000 clients connect to it, and a 40-bit key when earlier versions of the client connect. Use medium encryption to secure sensitive data as it travels over the network for display on remote clients.

If you are located in the United States or Canada, you have the option to select the High level, which encrypts data sent from client to server and from server to client by using strong 128-bit encryption.
