Another option (besides RESTstop2 mentioned in other answer), you can use stand-alone api-password package from Atmosphere, which does exactly what you need: authenticate REST calls on the server side. It supports Meteor 0.8.2 (with bcrypt) as well.

Example for the server side

  try {
    if (ApiPassword.isPasswordValid(username, password)) {
      console.log('password is valid for this user');
    } else {
      console.log('password is not valid');
    }

  } catch (exc) {
      console.log(exc.message);
      // possible causes: 'User is not found', 'User has no password set'
  }
