Have a look at MCOP, from the arts-project.org website. (And from artsd, which 
is the multimedia thing in KDE). Despite it's simplicity, it's actually a 
solid CORBA replacement (since it's what it replaced in ARTS in the first 
place). It's my understanding that it can be used without arts.

Dunno about authentication, but you are probably looking at using some other 
authentication mecanism like Kerberos if you plan on using CORBA or DCOP 
anyway.

Have fun,
Chris
