Erymuzuan,
Actually, this has nothing to do with security (NOTE: Unless, of course, you build it in)
In essence, what is being asked is "How do I create a Peer to Peer connection" OR "How do I create a Client\Server". There are so many different ways that this could be accomplished and I can't give anything specific until I knew more about the problem.
But trust me, when transporting over TCP\IP it has nothing to do with security as whether or not this can be done. Rather, the way security would work in this scenerio is that it would need to be added to the applications to control WHO can access. Because once you open yourself to the internet, your screwed. Anyone can get in if there is no Authentication built into the connection and even then, that can be hacked. That's why there are things called firewalls! :)
