Abstract
A method for deploying a trust bridge in an ad hoc wireless network can provide interoperability for multi-organizational authentication. The method includes processing at a delegate certification authority (DCA) node device authorizations received from of a plurality of certification authorities (CAs) of different organizations, where the authorizations authorize the DCA node device to serve as a DCA representing the CAs (step 1105). The DCA node device then processes context information received from the ad hoc wireless network (step 1110). Next, the DCA node device determines, based on the context information, that a second node device should be enabled as a new trust bridge (step 1115). The DCA node device then performs a trust bridge deployment to enable the second node device to serve as the new trust bridge (step 1120).
