Is the connection to FXCM secure?

Is the connection to FXCM secure, if so what types of encryption does FXCM support? SSL over port 443, encrypted FIX messages or something else?

Thanks,
Kaboo

Ok, I'm a little concerned by this. But first how do I authenticate to fxcm using FIX, am I send over my credentials (user name / password) in clear text? Or am I missing something?

Thanks.
