Hi,

I followed this thread quite "diagonally" (so sorry if this reply looks to
you noise ;)) but the opposite of this also true :

a channel can be "securely" authenticated but not encrypted (once
authenticated) :p

eg:  APOP method of POP3 protocol and others methods like that.. anything
based on hashed login&password basically (with a salt).

but doing authentication over an encrypted channel is by design the best
that can be done for this matter.

was just my 2cents  ;)
