You can use the java.rmi.server.RMISocketFactory.setSocketFactory call to
set up your own socket factory. My understanding is that people have used
this mechanism to use SSL. Note that the reported remote call times are on
the order of 20 seconds. This might be due the fact that a remote call
with RMI seems to require building at least 3 sockets, with the attendant
SSL setup overhead.
