netnamedpipebinding

I'm using a WCF service with the NetNamedPipesBinding to communicate between two AppDomains in my process.

How do I secure the service so that it is not accessible to other users on the same machine?

I have already taken the precaution of using a GUID in the Endpoint Address, so there's a little security through obscurity, but I'm looking for a way of locking the service down using ACL or something similar.
