Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) enables a user to connect to his/her computer virtually from any other computer. Once connected, this function allows full authority to the user and enables access to all the files, applications, emails etc. present in it. It is a protocol developed by Microsoft and was first launched with “Terminal Services”, as a part of their product “Windows NT 4.0 Server, Terminal Server”.
According to the flexible pre-settings already made in the primary system, the user can have access to almost all forms of data such as audio and video files, documents, setup files, clipboard and software. One can even copy-paste or transfer data between the remote computer and the local system. It allows great varieties of devices to be accessed thus making the server protocol highly efficient and user-friendly.
In its default configuration, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is slightly vulnerable to a MITM (Man in the Middle) attack. To deal with this problem, a transport layer encryption can be incorporated by the administrator to mitigate the risk.
Remote Access is the ability to get access to a computer or a network from a remote location. This feature is extensively used in sectors such as corporations, people at branch offices, telecommuters and people who travel to name a few. Home users get access to the Internet using Remote Access to an Internet service provider (ISP).
Online meeting refers to a meeting that is held by multiple participants in different locations using the web portal. This is where multiple participants conference using computers, internet and a live video feed. Online meeting, also termed as web conferencing, allows any number of individuals regardless of their location around the globe, not only to share information, but also see and hear each other without being physically present at the same place.
