Detailed steps in Windows Terminal Services handshake

Dear friends,

I've been reading detailed descriptions of RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) use
in Microsoft Terminal Services.
I know the communication is encrypted with RC4.
But I can guess how the key is determined. I guess there's some kind of
asymmetric negotiation first. But how is it done?

Could you please point me to a good reference site to find this info?

best regards from Spain,

DAVID

PS: any other place to check the same handshake details but for Citrix ICA
sessions?
