[SOLVED] Securing data in a packet

Hello,


I'm setting up access to the WAPT server from our DMZ, and it will be accessible from the outside.

The problem is: I have a packet containing usernames and passwords that must not be intercepted during an intrusion.

Is there a recommended method for securing this type of information?

Thanks Simon for the feedback, I couldn't find that documentation again.

Follow-up question:

If a brand new workstation added to the server wants to install the encrypted package, it won't be possible because the client's private key wasn't known.
Therefore, the package needs to be updated so that its key is correctly recognized.

Is that right?

I'm marking this topic as resolved (for future reference).
