I have a question.  Is there a way to not do data transfer encrypted, but
still do authentication encrypted?  I have some big databases that I want to
copy from machine to machine.  The data is not confidential, but I want to
make sure that it comes from someone with the right private key.  And, will
such a session be vunerable to session hijacking?
