What is so “secure” about the HP Secure Web Console, anyway?

The word “secure” is used in the name to indicate that several features have been added to this remote console device to make it more secure than what is typically used today — a telnet connection. For example, the SWC password is encrypted using MD5 digest encryption to protect the SWC password from being recovered. The data stream between the client and the actual console is scrambled to prevent a casual intruder from viewing the data.
