Or just reuse the D-Bus protocol if you like it but not abuse the
session bus. So you don't need to implement complex filtering.

The backend can create a new bus with DBusServer (that's what
telepathy connection managers for D-Bus tubes and dbus-daemon-proxy do
by the way) so it can directly control who can connect. In this case,
the D-Bus messages don't go through dbus-daemon and there is no need for
dbus-daemon-proxy.
