I've read the documentation for TightVNC a couple of times in recent months 
and while it does offer various levels of compression, it does not encrypt 
anything by itself. You can use SSH to tunnel it and thereby encrypt 
transmissions.

British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsyl-

enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let
them sink gradually... I ask, who are the militia? They consist now of the
whole people, except a few public officers."
