To extend on that, a simple solution is to only broadcast public information and require callers to request more data via a method-call. This method-call can then be guarded by uid verification, etc. The D-Bus `PropertiesChanged` signal allows for a simple solution by utilizing the `invalidated-properties` feature, rather than including payload directly in the signal. On a different note, you can always send directed-signals as unicasts to all interested/authorized parties. These will not be proper multicasts, though, thus subject to re-ordering.
