Definitely important issues for some synchronization protocols but it seems
though two-step 1588 would work through such a connection. The followup
message will contain an accurate (and encrypted) timestamp. Encryption
delays would not result in significant loss of accuracy with respect to an
unencrypted connection also using two step.
