OnionCat has no authentication between it and and the node it is
running on and it's peers. It's somehwat possible though. There
were some OC features being drafted to assist with this, though I do not
know the current dev status on them. Till then, it's the honor system.

On the big plus side, OC provides IPv6 function. Most you can
do over native IPv6 can be do over OC over Tor (except maybe
routing which need yet another layer).
So you can do auth via ZRTP, ssh known-hosts, even IPSEC/IKE.
So some good classes of bluffing are mooted by this I believe, no.
If app has no built in and no IPSEC, then you are at risk for today.
