The original app we were looking at was EMU but we have just found a new 
one called Clio (http://www.clio.com) that is faster, more stable and 
has more features. We also liked the price at $1 per user for a license 
;-)

With SSL on the server we have found that the entire session is 
encrypted (we used a Network General Sniffer) including the login and 
password.
