	Technology Brief


		Data encryption and security NX security is guaranteed at every layer involved in the communication process. NX uses SSH public-key encryption and 128 bit volatile random cookie generation.


		Multimedia support NX transparently tunnels Linux multimedia channels. Not only does NX play KDE and Gnome system sounds, but you can listen to MP3s played on the server and local workstation simultaneously.


		Windows file sharing support Share a file, folder or entire disk from your local Linux computer and let it be accessed by the remote applications running on the NX server. Full support of industry standard SMB protocol.


		Unified support for all major remote desktop protocols Thanks to its outstanding compression performances, NX is able to deliver X, RDP and RFB remote sessions using the same client. This is achieved by translating "foreign" protocols into X-Window, the native protocol of NX.
