Hello,
TigerVNC, an actively developed open-source VNC server (also for linux), allow the encryption of all the VNC traffic using TLS; this add extra security for the VNC connection without using a SSH tunnel.
To connect to a VNC secured with TLS, the viewer client must support this feature (as the TigerVNC viewer does).
It would be nice if this feature will be available also on UltraVNC viewer.
You can find more detail about TLS for VNC here:

Re: TLS for VNC
Ultravnc already have encryption.
Adding support for an other encryption can possible be done by some dsm plugin.
A lot of work...
Current specs
Default configuration uses 2048-bit RSA keys and 256-bit AES keys.
RSA public-key cryptography supports 512-, 1024-, 2048-, and 3072-bit keys.
Configurable choice of symmetric ciphers and keys:
AES: Supports 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys.
Blowfish: Supports 56-, 128-, 192-, 256-, and 448-bit keys.
IDEA: Supports 128-bit keys.
CAST5: Supports 56- and 128-bit keys.
ARC4: Supports 56-, 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys.
