Don't forget about good old email. You can exchange signed and 
encrypted messages with manual email programs like Netscape and 
Outlook-Express, or by software using the openssl package. 

If you add signed receipts and are careful about the way messages are 
sent, you end up following the EDIINT specification. 

This is more secure than SSL-FTP/HTTP, adding non-repudiation 
instead of just authenticating logins. Data can be stored securely, not 
just transmitted securely. 

There isn't a big difference transmitting EDIINT MIME wrapped data via 
SMTP or HTTP, but there is a big difference between these and 
transmitting base data by S-FTP and HTTPS.
