Security of pserver

[Lukas Ruf]

Dear all,

please excuse my -- potentially -- missleading subject if applicable.

Question:
- Are the passwords and the contents encrypted with a strong algorithm
  in case a remote repository is accessed ?
- If YES: where can I found the appropriate switches ?
- If NO: has anyone any ideas how this could be implemented ?

Thanks in advance for any support,

Lukas
