Lets see, if you speak on a cell phone or transmit on the internet,
consider it public knowledge :) Encryption, at a minimum, seems appropriate.
About a year ago, "Andrew Hall" <ahall AT secureworks DOT net>, was working on a
document describing his experience in encrypting the data stream with
gnu's gpg. I don't recall the final status of this work.
Maybe Andrew is still reading the list and can comment,
or you might contact him.
