A method of operating a first device in group of devices in a network is disclosed. The method comprises encrypting and decrypting, with a processor of the first device, communications with other devices in the group of devices using a shared key that is stored in a memory of each device in the group of devices; receiving, with a transceiver of the first device, a first message from a second device in the group of devices, the first message indicating that the first device is authorized to share the shared key; and transmitting, with the first device, the shared key to a third device in the network that is not in the first group of devices only after receiving the first message indicating that the first device is authorized to share the shared key.
