  Network-level password encryption? 
 The Question is:
 
A customer is worried about the security of passwords passed via a telnet
network session. Is there any way of encrypting the VMS user password which
is transfered via telnet over the network, so that it cannot be read via a
network sniffer device.
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Only via an encrypting bridge or tunnel or firewall, or via the
  use of a one-time password, or equivalent network crypto.
