Configuring session encryption

You can select the encryption level, algorithm type, and key length that best suits your needs.

To configure session encryption

  1. In the Symantec pcAnywhere Web Remote window, click Advanced.

  2. In the Advanced Options window, under Encryption, in the Level list, select one of the following:

    • None

    • pcAnywhere Encoding

    • Symmetric

      The Web Remote does not support connections to hosts that are running pcAnywhere 11.0.x or earlier when both the Web Remote and host computers are configured for symmetric encryption.

  3. In the Algorithm list, select one of the following:

    • RC4

    • AES

    This option is only available for symmetric encryption.

  4. In the Key length list, select the appropriate key level.

    This option is only available for symmetric encryption.

  5. Check Deny lower encryption to refuse a connection with a host that is running a previous version of pcAnywhere and using a lower level of encryption.

  6. Check Deny alternate algorithm to refuse a connection with a host that uses a different algorithm type.

  7. Click OK.
