Cross‑Platform Hardware Abstraction
AnyDesk implements a thin HAL layer that maps native display buffers from Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, ChromeOS and ARM‑based SBCs such as Raspberry Pi to a unified framebuffer. This eliminates OS‑specific bottlenecks and permits direct DMA transfers to the GPU, preserving pixel fidelity.
DeskRT Codec Engine
The proprietary DeskRT codec operates on a fixed‑point arithmetic pipeline within the SoC’s SIMD units. By exploiting block‑level delta encoding and entropy coding, it reduces the payload to ~2 Mbps for 1080p at 60 fps, keeping the transmission latency under 30 ms on typical broadband links.
Security Silicon Integration
All packets are encapsulated with TLS 1.2 using hardware‑accelerated RSA‑2048 handshakes and AES‑256‑GCM payload encryption. The TLS engine resides in the CPU’s cryptographic co‑processor, ensuring constant‑time operations and resistance to side‑channel leakage.
Feature Set Off‑load
- Bi‑directional file channel leveraging zero‑copy I/O via kernel scatter‑gather lists.
- Remote printing through IPP tunneling with driver‑less spool translation.
- Session recording stored in H.264‑intra frames, written directly to NVMe without user‑space buffering.
- Two‑factor authentication integrated with TPM‑backed secret storage.
Customization at Firmware Level
Enterprise deployments can inject a custom branding blob into the executable’s resource section, and toggle feature flags through a signed configuration payload, preventing unauthorized module activation.
