For my work at NEF/MetLife I designed a system called "CrossApplicationTrust" that defined several interfaces (using WDDX) to pass encrypted identification information from application to application. Each application defines what information would be passed using a distributed assertion system (I say I'll be giving this, and here's the definition so you can test me). The system remembers each application accessed and can provide for aliasing to any application. (It was designed originally to allow customer service reps to access customer screens as customers without losing their identities in the process). As long as encryption key management can be dealt with the system works across servers/sites and application platforms (although only a CF implementation is currently fully working we've also done partial implementations in Java and ASP). It sounds like it may be too complex for what you're doing, but if not drop me a line and I can tell you more about it.
