Well, there are many ways of client authentication. To narrow it down it would be nice if your tell us something about the protocol you are planning to use. Many protocols support an additional SSL/TLS-Layers (e.g. HTTP -> HTTPS). There you can use SSL certificate authentication. It may berequired to set up a small CA, but done right it is pretty secure.
