Actually, Kannel supports HTTPS for the send-sms interface, so using that is a much
easier to get secure message transmission then any other way - seeing as HTTP over SSL
is a widely supported communication method, and you can easily get free or proprietary
libraries that do HTTPS for any language.
As for ease of use - HTTP is still easier to implement in most languages then any
other communication protocols - again, as it so popular that some languages even have
built-in support for HTTP calls.
Using sockets or RPC or database has other benefits, for example : performance. but
even so - implementing other send-sms interfaces is not a high priority. none the
less, you are more then invited to do it yourself, in the spirit of open source
development :-)
