A kludge around what you want is to have a Linux machine serve as
a firewall between your LispMs and the rest of the world,
and that this front-end would be a ssh tunnel between to whichever
remote machine (or machine's front-end) in the rest of the world you
want access to.
I used to remotely login through X to my LispM, this way.

As for implementing crypto in the lispm itself, well, there have been
various crypto algorithms implemented in CL, but the result might be
quite slow. You could venture into using the 68000 as a crypto coprocessor,
but it would still not be blazing fast. I fear you'll have to ask someone
else about the details...
