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.
