I think only HTTP streaming currently provide some kind of 
authentication. We have either HTTP plain authentication, or SSL/TLS 
client certificate authentication. Unfortunately, HTTP is not really 
the recommended streaming protocol (UDP and RTP/UDP work much better).

Of course, other mechanism could be implemented.
