We don't have a specific one.  Feel free to update the Wiki with more
specifics.

Other issues: There should be enough mechanism in place to have

bump the protocol version to handle authentication; I think we do.

I hope we could avoid using plaintext passwords at all.  SRP seems
like a good protocol to use.
