How about getting the free SSL library from Australia? It uses SSL for
authentication and encryption, and there are patches available for the most
common clients and servers. Using this you should be able to cover most of
the world. One exception is probably France. Also, if you use it in the US
you have to pay RSA a license fee.

Would this work?
