Personally, I solved that problem using a preprocessing program. The
idea was to not share any key data with the destination. If that's
interesting to you, do check out rsyncrypto
(http://sf.net/projects/rsyncrypto).

What it does is to encrypt the files prior to rsyncing them. The twist
is that the files are encrypted in a way that does not obliterate the
wire efficiency of applying rsync to the encrypted files.
