As I told someone in private: I dunno. Some banks are pretty
stupid. Technically, if previous posts are to be believed, we are already
doing bank transfers in clear text e-mail to AOL accounts (i.e. "over the
Internet").
And some sales people pour really good Kool Aid about their encryption
products.
But let's hope not. :) And certainly not at any bank *I* use. (Knowingly)
