I am not as concerned about the encryption technique as I am about the fact
that a server that is made to be only accessible via Securemote can be made
to be virtually invisible or non-existent to all but SR clients, whereas an
SSL server is visible to the world, and I would be concerned about
concentrated hack attempts at such machine.
