The WebObjects app that's been mentioned is mine -- you can download it from my website at the URL below. It's open source and free.

If everyone is using Apple's mail, and you setup mail certs, it's very
painless.

About half my remote clients are non-mac though.

The standard S/MIME certificates work with Outlook as well. Have your client go to https://www.thawte.com/cgi/personal/contents.exe and get a free personal e-mail certificate. Once they have gotten the certificate and installed it according to Thawte's instructions, they can then send you a signed e-mail from Apple Mail or Outlook. This signed e-mail gives you a copy of their certificate, which you can then use to send them an encrypted e- mail containing their new password -- and the message contents will be encrypted in transit so that the new password cannot be snooped.

Great, thanks for the help Paul. Very useful.

Jaime
