I'm a total outsider to Wave, but I know JavaScript well, and that's what gadgets are written in. And from playing with some existing ones, I know that the data carried by them is nowhere near secure. The biggest problem is that forgery is very simple in any gadget that allows the user to submit information to a server.
The only way I can conceive of to solve this is a bot-gadget combination, formed by at least one hack (sloppy/makeshift programming technique). Even that I'm uncertain of as I haven't played with bots, but I can guess at it based on rumored functionality. As far as secure, simple email-ish conversations go, I've seen it hinted that someone can get into a private wave without being invited. So carrying sensitive conversations on a partially hostile Wave server probably isn't a good idea. However, if a firewall or some other line of defense is between Wave and the enemy, maybe... So the short answer I give as someone only minimally informed is... not yet.
