I think you can enable per interface authentication with virtual links
without enabling authentication in area 0.

I pretty sure on this, but I don't want to state it as fact since I've
already been wrong on one post this week.

I just had a similar scenario last week:

Area 0 was authenticated MD5. Here is the code from the
listing:

router ospf 10
 router-id 1.1.1.1
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 0 authentication message-digest
 area 126 virtual-link 6.6.6.6 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

I remembered reading somewhere that the far-end router is
logically attached to area 0 through the virtual-link.
