Depends on what you mean by secure. :-) There is an older, nearly-deprecated method for authentication between clients and servers: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0078.html In the old days clients could connect on a separate SSL-enabled port (usually 5223, though that was never codified). But with RFC 3920, it is preferred to upgrade to TLS on port 5222 and then use SASL for authentication. Are you writing your own library? Why not use one of the existing code libraries that already does TLS+SASL?
