Shared Half-Secret

I have a program A (totally private) that talks to a program B (open
source). I would like to introduce some way to ensure B only listens
to the real A to avoid things like man-in-the-middle attacks.

Any good ideas about how I might accomplish this? Thanks.

SSL socket with certificate validation perhaps?

Yeah, it does look like that's all I really need. Great, I like
simple. Thanks for the idea.
