if you need real encryption, put in a netscreen 5 on each end and get a signed certificate for them. When working for IT at a bank, we used them for our wire transfers for international wires, It can be hard core encryption. Once set up, it is dead easy to use. Netscreen 5 refurb is $125 or so on Amazon. New $600. Owned by Juniper Networks now days.
