Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1 used to create a decentralized permanently secure ad-hoc network, further comprising:
associating the first device D1 with a first hardware security module and the second device D2 with a second hardware security module, wherein both the first device D1 and the second device D2 require authentication;
using the first hardware security module to provide a first secure public key pair for the first device D1;
using the second hardware security module to provide a second secure public key pair for the second device D2;
using a random seed from the first device D1 encrypted with the second device's secure public key pair, sent to the second device D2, decrypted by the second device D2, re-encrypted with the first device's secure public key pair, returned to the first device D1, and decrypted and verified by the first device D1 as proof of ownership and authentication of the second device's secure key pair;
using a random seed from the second device D2 encrypted with the first device's secure public key pair, sent to first device D1, decrypted by the first device, re-encrypted with the second device's secure public key pair, returned to the second device D2, and decrypted and verified by the second device D1 as proof of ownership and authentication of the first device's secure key pair;
using the first and second secure key pairs to securely exchange permanent or temporary session keys between the first and second devices;
storing the session key S1 for the first device D1 in the second device D2; and
storing the session key S2 for the second device D2 in the first device D1.
