This is definitely what I want,
However, I don't see any way in "accept connections" to *require* that the
connection come in as secure. I'd love it to simply reject the connection,
so that I can assume I'm getting encrypted data. At the moment, I'm using
RSA each way, but I assume that once I'm hosting servers, that's going to
multiply the number needed.
