There's a bug on file, that suggests some security improvements along
these lines.

The idea is to use a FMD-specific key that is used to encrypt all
communication between the phone and the user, so that our server is
nothing more but a stupid relay.

This would also provide additional privacy for the geolocation feature:
An evil server may no longer snoop, nor control the device. The worst it
could do was a per-user denial of service.
