Hmmm... for the "validate the certificate" part, maybe you should take
a look at
pathfinder :)

Don't worry I was thinking of exactly that. Since we're running dbus
and all anyway :)
Although for small installations, hardcoding the certificates we want
to accept is
also an important feature to have.

Comment #3 by ppatters:
Just don't forget that if you hardcode the certificates, you have to
either force an
update (eventually - certificates have a fixed lifetime), or ignore certificate
validity, in which case, why not just use some form of shared secret instead.
Certificates are really only useful if you have a large number of keys
to manage -
for a situation where you have a small number (10 or so), some form of
shared secret
is actually easier and less confusing for most people to handle.
