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?"
