You can use SNMP on TCP. You can even use SNMP on SSH or DTLS [1].
net-snmp [2] can do that without implementing SSL tunnel or other kind
of solution. With SNMP v3, you can use authentication and encryption. 

I'm not saying SNMP is a good solution but provides all security
needed.

Finally, SSH is cloud be the best way to execute remote plugins.
