Add authentication support to the web client and the server so that only authenticated users are able to retrieve the list of unknown hosts in the network.

There are plenty of ways of implementing this:

Have a user-defined single key (password/passphrase) that is shared among all users of the web client
Add support for creating user accounts (a database would be needed for this)
Rely on *NIX authentication and use credentials from existing accounts (would only work on *NIXes and could have some caveats when running under Docker)
