One of CSG advantages is the SSL protection from ?man in the middle?
attacks. However, to realize full SSL potential both server and client
should have private certificates ? not just the server (which is the case in
99% of cases ? server has private cert and client has access to server?s
public cert). Unfortunately this is hard to achieve with outside users where
connection security is the most vulnerable.
Regarding ?pure? ICA versus RDP ? Citrix is relying on Microsoft?s
encryption providers/technology (certainly on Windows) and thus it is hard
to expect any advantages of ICA over RDP.

While both have encryption you can turn on, I would say with CSG your stream is more secure.

Back to the 2003 RDP vs Citrix ICA debate. If accessing published apps or desktops across the WAN, isn't ICA more secure or I should say can't you make ICA more secure with Secure Gateway? Or is that not an accurate assessment?
