delphi <> php xml requests

Hi, I am looking for an experienced coder (Delphi or VC and PHP) who can provide me with a secure way for communicating between client (Delphi/VC) and server (PHP). Client will be running a software written in Delphi or VC and requesting/forwarding xml-data to a php-script (e.g. <http://.../[login to view URL]>) running on a webserver. This connection/data should be passed secure/encrypted. I am sure there are many ways for encrypting the data. I need your suggestion (VPN, IPSec, SSL..??) Let me know how you can help, thanks. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
