Security NetMeeting uses data encryption, user authentication, and password protection to ensure your security. Security is a new feature in NetMeeting 3. With data encryption, you can: Encode the data exchanged between shared programs, transferred files, Chat, and Whiteboard. Specify whether all secure calls are encrypted. Hold secure conferences where all data is encrypted (audio and video are disabled). With User Authentication, you can: Verify the identity of participants by requiring authentication certificates. Require a NetMeeting certificate (automatically generated during NetMeeting setup). Require a personal certificate issued by an external certifying authority or intranet cerificate server. Schedule secure conferences that require all participants to have a certificate. With password protection, you can: Host a meeting that requires a password. Use Remote Desktop Sharing to control your office computer from home or vice versa. For more information on these and other security topics, see Chapter 6 of the NetMeeting Resource Kit or search on Security in NetMeeting Help.
