Unfortunately, I don't control the server and don't believe there is an SSL connection to that component, but other components will require an SSL connection. So using SSL for everything is not possible.

You should consider using SSL right from the start. There are loads of key generation howtos on the web. I'm running Apache on Gentoo here and it worked right from the start. Just say "openssl s_client ..." instead of "telnet ..." on the client side. I experienced handling sensitive data comes earlier than you might reckon and it's no mistake to be prepared in time.
