My I humbly suggest GSS-API?  This already exists on many OS's, is a
required component of NFS4, and is already well defined in RFC's
1964, 2025, 2203, 2478, 2479, 2623.  The nice thing about this is that it
allows you to integrate it with your enterprise's security system, whatever
it may be (UNIX authentication, Kerberos, X.509, etc).  It takes care of
both authentication and encryption of data.

In other words, it would not be redundant work, and it would reduce
redundant work in the future.
