I think folks are agreeing - somewhat - at the top of their lungs.
For "totally" secure comms, one must have peer-to-peer encryption.
Right now, the accepted means seem to be PGP [not as hard as some
think] or X.509 certs. Or expensive hardware [;-)].
THIS DOES NOT MEAN that if you can't have the best, you settle for
nothing! Putting in encryption where you can is still better than
nothing! You just have to educate the users to let them know that
there are still windows for certain traffic [you don't have to
enumerate them], so that they don't go doing stupid things over the
public Internet.
