Abstract
Described are a method and system for establishing a secure communication session with third-party access at a later time. A first communication subsession is established between two original devices using a first key generated by a two-party key and security association protocol. At least one of the original devices is established as a group key server. A request from a joining device to join the secure communication session is received and a second communication subsession is established between the original devices using a second key generated by the two-party key and security association protocol. The second key is provided to the joining device to enable participation in the second communication subsession.
