Well, I don't know of one per se, but protocols that incorporate SASL..

  http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2222.txt

..SHOULD support, I believe, what you're calling "proxy authentication". 
LDAPv3 is one example that does. See..

  http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2829.txt


I believe you will find IMAP and ACAP do also. As far as others, I'd suggest 
doing a full-text RFC search at (for example)..

  http://www.normos.org/

..for "sasl". I just did this and got 36 hits (though, some are SASL mechanism 
definitions, rfc index docs, and so on).

Of course, protocols not based on SASL may also have a notion of "proxy 
authentication" -- it may just be a bit more challenging to search 'em out.
