The real issue is in building a timestamping regimen and PKI based crypto
service so that the log can be claimed to be "non-repudiated" and can later
for forensic reasons be taken apart.

This is way more than just tunneling and BTW, if you need a reason why this
would be a good feature set to add,  are you folks aware that under GLB and
the privacy acts of a number of countries we all as systems admins can go to
jail over what our logs contain.
