Transport encryption between client and server has been planned for an
upcoming release. However, development appears to have stalled so I
wouldn't expect anything soon.

As there is currently no native encryption, you have a few other options
for this:

* use stunnel on both client and server
* configure the clients to connect using HTTPS, and install a CGI script to
handle the connections
* use ssh tunnels

Some of these methods can also incorporate authentication, to improve
security even further.

More on these techniques can be found here:

Cheers
Jeremy
