Please add a possibility to do an authenticy check of the files
on download. Preferably pgp-sign the files and make the signature file downloadable a long with the program files.
Publish the signing key and it's fingerprint at the projekt site for
verification.
For the same reason: publish a secure hash of the program files at
the project site. md5 is broken, SHA-1 can be used for some time, but preferable SHA-256 could
be used. (I recently encountered a SHA-1 collision for two slightly different program files.)
Rational:
UltraVNC has security implications and should be securely distributed.

Re: Secure distribution of files
We are planning to buy a certificat to sign the software. (auth signing)
After signing exe are protected and installation will no longer complain
on unknown originin.
Thanks to donations we can spend a 200$ for a offical cert.
Don't know what encryption is used by the MS signing tools, but as they use it thereself it should do the trick.

Re: Secure distribution of files
There is a 256bit encryption and DH 512 buildin.
For Pchelpware concept, buildin encryption is better.
