The security story for Ceilometer definitely needs to be hardened ...

- the usage-related notifications emitted by the openstack services
  (nova, glance, cinder ... etc.) are implicitly trusted, i.e. auth
  doesn't go beyond the user/password-style mechanisms implemented
  by the AMQP provider  

- metering messages between ceilometer agents are signed using
  a secret stored in plain text in the config file

- the ceilometer API service is not integrated with keystone as yet
  so does not do token validation or role-based policy verification 

The ceilometer team intends to make progress on the auth story in
the Grizzly timeframe.

Cheers,
Eoghan
