As I understand it, presently the memory for the message queue is shared based 
on user and group ownership of the process. By "secure IPC" is meaning a 
security mechanism that provides a more fine granularity of specifying who 
are allowed to send (or receive) messages... and maby also a way to resolve 
the question of "Can I trust the message I received?"
