    Off-topic a bit, but perhaps our moderator will allow it... I did some
    "concept" work a couple of years ago on televideo conferencing via IP
    networks. Security was not the thrust of this effort, but I recall a company
    called "Databeam" that advertised a "secure gateway" for H.323 (& other
    protocols ?). Try www.databeam.com
