Security Aspects in Virtual and Remote Laboratories - Implementations in the Virtual Electro Lab project

Abstract

When it comes about accessing an application remotely, that is from another computer than that where the application resides, the security should always be of concern. Because the connection between the two computers is done through a physical space, on which we may not have any control, whether that connection is through wires or wireless, we must be on guard of any possible identity and information stealing. This paper deals with the security aspect encountered in any remotely communication between two or more computers, connected among them through a physical or wireless connection. It explains the theoretical base and the implementation of these aspects in “Virtual Electro Lab”.
