The standard way is to use an asymmetric key system (RSA, etc.) to 
exchange a session key that is done using something like Blowfish (or 
whatever the cool kids use these days).  The server publishes it 
public key and clients transmit their public keys to the server upon 
connection for the exchange, and then they communicate the session key 
securely and encrypt all further communications with that.
