It is fairly simple to make it work just like X, which is the common case.

* make ssh forwarding work automatically, which does the encryption
* with a shared NFS homedir, authentication should then work fine
(uses the existing cookies in homedir)
* could extend the authentication with tools to support manually
copying auth cookies around for non-shared homedir, or even put
cookies on X server

For cases other than X sessions, you'd have to see what you need for
those. There is an "anonymous" auth mechanism already if you want to
make a dbus server that is just a network server taking anonymous
connections, like http.
