Edge-node authentication-data exchange system

A system for exchanging authentication data between edge-nodes, the system comprising:

• an edge-node network, the edge-node network comprising a plurality of edge-nodes, each edge-node comprising:
• a pairing module, each pairing module being operable to:
• receive an instruction to pair a host edge-node with one or more edge-nodes in the network;
• pair the host edge-node with the one or more edge-nodes in the network;
• continually transmit, from the host edge-node, a verification communication, to the one or more edge-nodes in the network;
• continually discover, at the host edge-node, a responsive verification communication, from the one or more edge-nodes in the network;
• and
• continually receive, at the host edge-node, the responsive verification communication, from the one or more edge-nodes in the network;
• an executable module, each executable module being operable to:
• determine occurrence of an event;
• upon determination of the occurrence of the event, analyze a stored event protocol of the host edge-node, the stored event protocol for use with a list of paired edge-nodes, said protocol comprising an algorithm for implementing one or more executables in response to the occurrence of the determined event;
• based on the algorithm, determine an executable;
• and
• execute the determined executable.
