Abstract
A method for reprogramming a node of an electronic communication system includes transmitting a signal from a first node to a second node. The signal requests that the second node be reprogrammed. The signal includes an identification of the first node. The second node is used to broadcast the identification of the first node to other nodes in the communication system. The second node is reprogrammed only if a predetermined quantity of the other nodes confirm, based on the identification, that the first node is legitimate.
