sending code objects around between different interpreters.

I've been playing around with firing code objects around the local net
between machines, using compile(), marshal.dumps(), marshal.loads() and
exec(). The eventual aim of this is a completely extensible management
tool. However, for fairly obvious reasons, I'd like to be able to
verify that the code object I'm about to execute is actually from a
trusted source. Has anyone tried anything like this? Maybe some sort of
authentication? Or executing the codeobject in a restricted way?
Ideas?
