Security
GoToDevice is designed for system administrators who wish to have a secure tool for complete cross-platform administration and maintenance. GoToDevice has a comprehensive set of security features; Encryption, user logon, impersonation, individual access permission and confirm connection ensure that traffic and access to the remote computer is secure.
Data Traffic
Communication between your computer and the remote computer is protected using industrial-strength algorithms. GoToDevice uses Diffie-Hellman key exchange and encrypts data using 128 or 256 bit AES.
- The logon sequence is always protected using 256 bit AES encryption.
- Traffic to the remote computer's security setup is always protected using 256 bit AES encryption.
- All other traffic can optionally be protected using 128 or 256 bit AES encryption.
Operating System
GoToDevice works in conjunction with the operating systems built-in security.
- Logon uses the system's user profiles to verify user name and password.
- GoToDevice impersonates the user towards the operating system. The user has access to the same resources as if he was sitting in front the remote computer.
Individual Access Permissions
By default only administrators are allowed to logon to the remote computer. Additional individual user or group access permissions can easily be added.
- Permission can be granted to a single resource like Files or Task Manager
- Permission can be granted to the whole group of computer management resources.
- Permission is granted as a read and/or write permission. E.g. some users might be granted read-only access to the Files resource while others are granted read and write access.
Protected Security
The security system itself is also protected; ensuring that only authorized personnel have access and can modify the security settings.
- The security system itself is considered as a resource, and is protected by individual access permissions.
- The database containing the security settings is saved in a location protected by the operating system.
