Screen sharing security

Netviewer is equipped with a range of security mechanisms, ensuring that you can use the tool without any concerns regarding data security:

Random session number for the establishment of the connection
The randomly generated connection number ensures that you are connected to the consultant you wish to communicate with.

128-bit encryption
Each Netviewer session is encrypted with the 128-bit key Blowfish algorithm, which meets the SSL standard.

Change of viewing direction only after explicit permission
After the connection is established, you first see the screen of the consultant. To change over to view your monitor is only possible with your explicit permission.

No remote control rights without explicit authorisation
By default, the system is in "View-only" mode. If required, you can grant remote control rights to the other party. This authorisation can however be revoked at any time by pressing the F12 key.

Selection of the viewed application
The application selection option allows you to specify the applications that are to be visible to your partner.

Termination of the session possible at any time by a simple-mouse-click
Both partners can terminate the Netviewer session at any time by clicking the "exit" button.

Netviewer software is authenticated
The Netviewer software comes with a VeriSign certificate, guaranteeing that the product is an original software product. You can thus be rest assured that the program has not been tampered with in any way.

Security assessment and approval
The security assessment completed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Telecooperation in Darmstadt and the OPDV approval by the financial group of the German savings banks confirm the security of Netviewer.
