If you some day would have time and interess, try to implementi it on the server :)

I've done some test coding:
- On the client side, some handling was added create a SSLSocket and to verify certificated. Currently no verification is done. This way we got encryption, but no warranty for a connection to the right server. This requires some key/certificate management.
- Instead of implementing the whole SSL stuff in the server side, I've used stunnel to wrap the connection inside a SSL tunnel. I don't know whether this could be a solution for all users. Implementing SSL inside the server would definitely be easier for the user ...
So what's missing:
- SSL inside the server, if wanted.
- Re-enabling the GUI option for secure connections

Now I've implemented the server side and extended the ebuilds to create a certificate. Now we should do some documentation ...
