Dear Janos Zsako,

I wish to draw your attention to ripe-120.  There, under
"Authentication Schemes; MAIL-FROM" it states:

This authentication method checks the content of the RFC822
From: header of an update request against the regular expression
specified as <auth-info>.

As Daniel has already stated, those with really high security
requirements shoud use maintainers with a stronger
authentication menthod. 

Regards,

Ambrose Magee
