Secure trunk links

Team,

Is there a way to authenticate or secure a trunk link between switches?
I'm not talking about VTP, but the links themselves...

For example, every switchport in my business is running either
port-security, VMPS, or 802.1x to keep the bad guys out.... If I put a
switch into a public area, such as a conference room, there is nothing
preventing a malicious user from plugging into the trunk port that feeds
the switch in the conference room and having full-access to the network.

Thanks,

Curt
