1 Introduction
Remote Desktop Protocol Authentication Redirection Virtual Channel is an extension to the Credential Security Support Provider [MS-CSSP] protocol which allows credentials to be used on a Remote Desktop server without passing the raw credentials directly to the server. This enhances security, as this protocol allows for RDP sessions to be set up without revealing plaintext credentials to malware which may be on the target server.
