Full-Service Remote Desktop Support
synch.cc provides full remote-desktop support through the firewall onto your desktop, wherever you are, ad-hoc or as part of your service-level agreement for secure systems and network support!
The software includes full encryption, as an implemntation of RSA private-/public key exchange and AES (256 Bit) session encoding.
The key exchange also guarantees a full client-to-client data protection. This means that even the upstream routing servers will not be able to read the data stream.
Be it that you have a LAN installation or are browsing in the field on 3G / HSDPA or dial-up, synch.cc QuickSupport chooses the best display quality and speed depending on your network connection and access parameters.

The first step is to understand that there are issues to work through to retrofit security back into the code. Ideally, the code starts from a secure basis, but under some circumstances, the size or budget of the project does not allow for this.
So, how to proceed?
In terms of the code that we use to display, manage and filter user inputs before creating outputs, we know that there are a few challenges we need to mitigate in order to create a more secure data environment.
Some initial thoughts for discussion, below. Read the rest of this entry »
