REST basically just means HTTP, so the answer is to use HTTP auth, most likely BASIC auth. This can be done two ways:
1) If your apps are fronted by Apache (which they probably are), then you can use Apache's bult-in authorization functionality, the simplist form of which is just to declare users in flat text files. There are probably many other ways to store the user info.
2) You can do the auth inside your app. Globally in Application.dispatchRequest or more granularly in your route class (which is just a DirectAction subclass) in DirectAction.performAction. You just have to read the Authorization header and parse it, then check for the user and password in your database or whatever. I don't believe there is an implementation in Wonder, but if not there should be.
