I am creating a number of dissectors and my company has concerns regarding the security of Wireshark/Tshark if these propriety dissectors escape into the wild. 

Has anyone create a user authentication plugin for Wireshark/Tshark that would require the user to have a certificate installed from a specific trusted authority?  The certificate should also be base on an interface of the computer running Wireshark.

Thanks for your help.
