None of the above is available. Or will even be in the short term.

We'll publish next week lazr.restful which is basically the Launchpad 
webservice support which allows publishing a REST API from a content model 
described using zope.interface and annotations.

The implementation will only work for a Zope publisher. We are expecting some 
folks (maybe repoze or other) to make the implementation somewhat more 
independant of the Zope publication mechanism. 

There is no auth support in lazr.restful though (it supports whatever is 
supported by the underlying app server).
