Method and apparatus for deterrence and detection of leakage during remote interactive sessions

A method for executing a remote graphics generation protocol for at least one virtual machine in a virtualization server comprising:

• generating a bitmap to be transmitted for display on a client machine associated with the at least one virtual machine;
• determining at least one protection label to be inserted within the bitmap;
• determining at least one optimization technique to be performed on the bitmap;
• and
• determining if the at least one optimization technique, if performed, alters the at least one protection label, and perform the following based on the determining:
• if yes, then inserting the at least one protection label within the bitmap without performing the at least one optimization technique, and
• if no, then performing the at least one optimization technique and inserting the at least one protection label within the bitmap.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for at least one virtual machine in a virtualization server, with the non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of computer executable instructions for causing the at least one virtual machine to execute a remote graphics generation protocol to perform steps comprising:

• generating a bitmap to be transmitted for display on a client machine associated with the at least one virtual machine;
• determining at least one protection label to be inserted within the bitmap;
• determining at least one optimization technique to be performed on the bitmap;
• and
• determining if the at least one optimization technique, if performed, alters the at least one protection label, and perform the following based on the determining:
• if yes, then inserting the at least one protection label within the bitmap without performing the at least one optimization technique, and
• if no, then performing the at least one optimization technique and inserting the at least one protection label within the bitmap.
