You could always encrypt articles and have a reading program on the other
end with access to the passwords, which in turns only allows access to
the right users, however you must do this:

	Have reasonably quick encryption, somehow still secure.

	The remote program nor the nntp server should be capable of
	dumping core or being ptraced.
