Encrypted data transfer via the API?

Hi,

 

Is there a way to receive encrypted data when using the API to access Salesforce client data?

 

If I got it right, all communication seems to be done over a standardized SOAP protocol? If so, then it seems somewhat odd since there is a lot of other security mechanisms added such as security tokens, recognized computer etc..

 

Thanks for any hints

All data via the API is encrypted using SSL.  It is a SOAP protocol, yes, but it's over HTTPS.
