Encryption and Authentication
Team Viewer works with a complete encryption based on RSA public/private key exchange and AES (256 Bit) session encoding. As the private key never leaves the client computer, it is ensured by this procedure that interconnected computers - including the Team Viewer routing servers - cannot decipher the data stream.
