Diskless Solutions (Fat Clients) and NFS

Currently there are 2 solutions for diskless fat clients.

1) David Van Assche has made a Fat Client script
2) DRBL http://drbl.sourceforge.net/

Both use NFS to mount /home rw. This is not secure.

Scott Balneaves and others wrote the LDM display manager and LTSPFS to
mount /home for local devices/apps with sshfs.

Wondering if this code can be modified/used to create an sshfs
authenticated mount of /home/user. BUT ONLY have encyption for the
authentication part. Hence getting rid of the encryption/decryption
overhead for data, just like NFS.

Basically, the same idea as was employed with LDM authenticating
securely but X being unencrypted (Direct-X)

I really feel having a secure diskless fat client solution is
important. Is this on the TODO list of any LTSP developers?
