I don't have a clear idea of what you are trying to do, but we have 
built and supported secure business web sites on OpenVMS for over twelve 
years and I would like to discuss with you what you are trying to do in 
more detail to see if some of the approaches we have used may help in 
your situation. If you would like, please either contact me directly via 
my e-mail or call me at (949) 650-0526.
