Lars,

We use PGP,  between a client of ours and a banking institution, to send
and receive financial transactions on a daily basis.  PGP is extremely
good for this.  For more information on PGP, point your browser to
http://www.pgp.com/ and for a port of PGP point your browser to
ftp://ftp.nha.co.za/hp3000/pgp263is/

Regards
Jens
