TeamViewer – Free Desktop Sharing and Remote Control

Today We will talk about TeamViewer which is free for personal and non-commercial use. It is a solution for remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer that works behind firewalls and NAT proxy. To connect to another computer, it needs to be installed on both machines.

The installation is simple enough just like any other windows application setup. Automatic partner IDs are generated on both computers when team viewer is running. To establish a connection, it is required to enter the partner ID and the password into TeamViewer in order to setup the connection.
It includes the possibility to run a free VPN (Virtual Private Network). The computers which are connected through a VPN behave like in a common network. This allows to share network resources with partners around the world.

It uses a full encryption, based on RSA private-/public key exchange and AES (256 Bit) session encoding.

As the private key never leaves the client and the host computer, it is ensured by this procedure that interconnected computers cannot decipher the data stream. Each  client has already implemented the public key of the master cluster and can thus encrypt messages for the master server and check the signature of the master, respectively. This PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) effectively prevents Man-in-the-middle-attacks.
