authentication

Lets say that I have only DHT (distributed hash table) implemented (in Python), and I want to build authentication service over P2P network, but without introducing centralized authentication server with such a service. Can it be done, and if so how can I achieve this?

I'm familiar with how Skype and Wuala have done this, but I am looking for decentralized solution without single point of failure.

Ok so from all my research I'm fairly positive P2P is not possible in Silverlight 4 (in browser).
