For anyone interested, I have a crude implementation of a secret key
concept which was the outcome of my earlier discussion on the mailing
list. I can send the small lisp code I wrote which creates a new emacs
server (lisp) and a lisp client code which can be excuted by emacs in
batch mode (not a good solution though but just a proof of concept).

I have a link to it:
