Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 2 used to deploy a decentralized ad-hoc network, comprising:
providing a plurality of devices including
at least one localized pair of devices consisting of a first device D1 that has been directly connected to a second device D2 using a secure key exchange, and at least one distant device Dy; and

pairing each device in each localized pair of devices with a distant device Dy by creating an uninterrupted chain of devices D1-Dn, wherein each device Dx has previously exchanged session keys with a subsequent device Dx+1 so that:
the first device D1 contains the session key S2 for the second device D2;
every device Dx between the first device D1 and the last device Dn contains the session key Sx−1 for a previous device Dx−1 and the session key Sx+1 for a subsequent device Dx+1; and
the last device Dn contains the session key for the next-to-last device Dn−1.
