Byĭefault, Mac OS X will connect using whichever level is supported by the server,Ĭhoosing 128-bit if it is available. The PPTP protocol supports two levels of encryption (40-bit and 128-bit). An account name is also associated with each certificate. TheseĬertificate files enable the server to establish the computer as a trustedĮntity for connection. To establish secure website connections using SSL, VPNs using securityĬertificates work by including certificate files on the computer. The third method is a security certificate. Requires an account name, the SecurID token itself, and a PIN number for remote This provides a much higher level of security because it To enter a combination of the numbers displayed on the SecurID along with a
