haven't noticed anything in the WMS specification for creating not

I would say using HTTP authentication is the standard way of doing
it. uDig supports basic HTTP authentication. For even more security
HTTP basic + SSL. Since WMS / WFS runs over HTTP, anything supported
by HTTP is available as standard WMS / WFS capabilities, in my mind.
