The JERI authentication mechanisms will help this to happen by allowing servers and clients to assert their identity as X.5xx certificates or kerberos tickets. This allows some form of uninqueness to be rolled into the system by deciding how unique those authenticated entities need to be. You can start out as groups, go down a step to individual service types, or even further to individual instances. It's all wrapped up in what principals you provide for that authentication.
