1. A securing device, comprising:
- a logic unit to generate authentication information for a group;
a transmitter to transmit authentication information to a potential member, wherein the receipt of the authentication information by the potential member designates the potential member as a member to the group and the member uses the authentication information to secure communication with another member in the group;
a reset application stored in a memory;
the logic unit to generate a reset signal using the reset application; and
a location limited channel transmitter to transmit the reset signal to the member, wherein the receipt of the reset signal by the member revokes the authentication information of the member.
