Actually if you are looking for automated tasks you can get security and passwordless login by adding a command in front of the key in the autorized keys file.
Something like:
command='/path/to/command' rsa-key-to-follow
Then when you ssh to the server with the authorized keys you can only run the command '/path/to/command'.
You can have multiple identity keys that map to different commands, or you can have a wrapper script that checks the environmental variable SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND and cases it against authorized commands.
