is windows powershell remoting secure?

   when connect remote computer, system uses user
   name , password credentials on local computer or credentials
   supply in command log in remote computer.
   the credentials , rest of transmission encrypted.

   add additional protection, can configure remote computer
   use secure sockets layer (ssl) instead of http listen for
   windows remote management (winrm) requests. then, users can use
   usessl parameters of invoke-command, new-pssession, and
   enter-pssession cmdlets when establishing connection. option
   uses more secure https channel instead of http.

the http protocol included troubleshooting purposes , should not used in production environments. while winrm still authenticate communication, data not encrypted , sent clear text on network. if ipsec configured between 2 machines, should safe use http in scenario.

the data passing through http not encrypted.but authentication protocols used ntlm,kerberos,which not pass password in plaintext.therefore written true.
