What's really wanted is a general procedure for converting from
connection-based security such as SSL to message-based security such
as PGP, without any loss of security.  It's deeply irritating that
sites try to impose real-time communication in the first place, when
the situation would be better served by exchange of thoughtful
messages.  But given that they do, there's a want for converting from
one to the other.  Slow folks like me want to be able to download a
form and ponder it for a day or a week before filling it in and
returning it.  Ideas?
