You CAN make SSL wrappers for sockets, files, strings/memory, in C,  
using the bio API. Can they be wrapped up in scheme ports?

So you could so something like
(define fp (bio-file-new :output-file "encrypted.out"))
(bio-push fp an-encryption-filter-bio)
(define out-stream (bio->output-stream fp))
(fprintf out-stream "blah blah blah)
