  Except that this does not deal with authentication.  This is what the
SSL certificate system does for you.

  Suggestion?  Go SSL.  It is standard now.  It can be used for
many protocols, as it can encapsulate nearly socket type date (stands for
"secure sockets layer").

  You can get apache-ssl from ports.  Get a certificate from a
certificate granting authority (ex.  Verisign), and your done.  Works with
all standard browser now.
