<p>
The following components of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> use encryption to
protect sensitive data:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
When using the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-ext"/> provided by
Oracle for VRDP remote desktop support, RDP data can
optionally be encrypted. See <xref href="vrde-crypt.dita#vrde-crypt"/>.
Only the Enhanced RDP Security method (RDP5.2) with TLS
protocol provides a secure connection. Standard RDP Security
(RDP4 and RDP5.1) is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle
attack.
</p>
</li>

<p>
When using the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-ext"/> provided by
Oracle for disk encryption, the data stored in disk images
can optionally be encrypted. See
<xref href="diskencryption.dita#diskencryption"/>. This feature covers disk
image content only. All other data for a virtual machine is
stored unencrypted, including the VM's memory and device
state which is stored as part of a saved state, both when
created explicitly or part of a snapshot of a running VM.
