Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to remotely access and control a computer or virtual machine (VM) over a network connection. It provides a secure communication channel by encrypting the data transmitted between the client and the remote computer, protecting it from unauthorized access.
