- OSF/DCE security (which is really Kerberos v5)
- Digital Equipment Corporation's SPX (pronounce Sphinx) which is a
  public-key system.
- RSADSI's public-key stuff.
- Sun has a public-key one too that comes standard with SunOS.
- Read up on the Generic Security Service API

Take a look at the various security and common authentication technology
DRAFT RFCs in the ietf-drafts directory on your favorite anonymous FTP
server (e.g. nic.ddn.mil).
