security isn't a huge deal in the case you outline. authentication is performed currently over the public internet. just because it'd be wireless doesn't change anything. most folks on the net today prolly use cleartext authentication for many tasks. encrypted authentication protocols are numerous and - of course - are necessary for the security minded. someone once said something about computer security that made me laugh (i'll paraphrase:) "the only way to secure a computer is to lock it in a steel vault, bury it in a block of concrete 40 feet deep - and even then i wouldn't bet on it." Internet backbone? In the latter case, security would be a big worry.
