Shows Proposed E2E solution

This document shows the Proposed E2E solution. With this the general steps for
establishing a secured connection would be:
1: Check the Upgradeable property to ensure the channel can be upgraded.
(Assuming True; next step)
2: Set the property EncryptionInterface and call method Secure.
3: Watch the EncryptionState property; once verified set Encrypted property to
True. (Or depreciate this duplicate property.)
4: Set the property AuthenticationInterface and call method Authenticate.
5: Watch the EncryptionState property; once verified set Verified property to
True (As the channel is now secured because it is both Encrypted and
Authenticated).
Please provide feedback, thank you. 
More work to complete incorporate OTR is too follow.
