You get precisely the same security you would using the regular CGI
interface. ;-)

If you've installed SSL, both approaches provide very nice security.  If
you haven't installed SSL, you're not going to be a happy camper either
way.

An XML-RPC server is basically a glorified CGI script with a structured
input/output format.  Handy, but not really anything new.
