Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a first key is exchanged between a granting node and a requesting node via a peer-to-peer wireless network. Further, a human-perceptible hash is generated at the granting node and the requesting node, utilizing the first key. Such human-perceptible hashes are then compared via an out-of-band communication channel. To this end, a second key may then be transmitted to the requesting node for providing access to a centrally-based wireless network.
