1. A method of communication via a secure wireless communication network, the method comprising:

  • joining a plurality of Service Points (SPs) to form a Service Point Network (SPN);

    connecting each of a plurality of Utilizing Devices (UDs) to a corresponding Service Port of one or more of the SPs, the UDs being distinct from the SPs and not part of the SPN;

    associating a unique Service Port identifier with each Service Port of each SP and thereby with each UD;

    preparing a communication selectively destined for one or more Destination UDs of the plurality of UDs, the communication originating from an Originator UD of the plurality of UDs, the SP corresponding to the Originator UD being an Entry SP of the communication, and the SPs corresponding to the Destination UDs being Terminal SPs of the communication; and

    for each Destination UD, encrypting the communication in the Entry SP to facilitate decryption in the corresponding Terminal SP and in a manner based at least in part on the unique Service Port identifier associated with the Destination UD, the encrypting otherwise securing the communication from general access including securing against decryption by other than the SP corresponding to the Destination UD.
