I don't claim to know much about SSL, but my impression is that it is
just a protocol, and doesn't imply any particular algorithm.  At connect
time, the two ends negotiate to select a common encryption method that is
available to both installations.  So I *think* it's fair to say that SSL
is adequate from the point of view of needing to support new algorithms
in the future.
