All SLNet communication of a DataMiner Agent can be configured to use encrypted connections. Data sent over those connections will be encrypted using a Rijndael algorithm, using a 256 bit session key (negotiated during authentication via a 1024 bit RSA key pair)

For the client side:

The Cube launcher is signed, and checked using SHA256.

Saved credentials are stored using the Data Protection API of Windows, using the CurrentUser scope (i.e. only the current user can decrypt it). DPAPI uses AES256.
