ABSTRACT:
An auditable and track-able key distribution and installation method and system for wireless networks. The method includes registering an installation device and writing a one time use key to the installation device. When an installer installs nodes onto a network, with each installation of a node, the one time use key is read by the node using the installation device to enable the node to be authenticated onto the network and the one time use key on the installation device is overwritten with another one time use key for installing the next node onto the network. After the nodes have been installed, an installation closeout and audit process is performed to make sure that none of the one time use keys have been stolen or copied.
