+== Introduction ==
+Xpra's [/wiki/Network network connection] can be protected using [/wiki/Authentication authentication modules] but those do not protect the network connection from man in the middle attacks.
+[[BR]]
+Xpra's encryption layer uses the [http://www.pycrypto.org/ pycrypto] library to:
+* encrypt the network packets with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard AES] (`Advanced Encryption Standard`) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Cipher-block_chaining_.28CBC.29 CBC mode] (`Cipher-block chaining`)
+* stretch the "passwords" with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2 PBKDF2] (`Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2`)
+The salts used are generated using Python's [http://docs.python.org/2/library/uuid.html#uuid.uuid4 uuid.uuid4()]
