Sadly I dont think thats possible - encryption/security always relies on
some secret, and there are no secrets in (purely) open source software.

An option might be a closed-source licence server (for networks of
machines), best would be if we could use an existing, trusted UNIX licence
server, like the one matlab uses.

Even then its really hard.
