System and methods are provided for admission to networks that include at least one node providing network coordinator functions. A network coordinator may have a random number generator, with the network coordinator distributing a random number within a network that include at least a first node and a second node. The network coordinator may receive a request for a dynamic encryption key from the first node, with the request being encrypted using a static encryption key unique to the first node, and with the static encryption key being determined based on the distributed random number. The network coordinator may then send a dynamic encryption key to the first node, with the dynamic encryption key being encrypted using the static encryption key. The second node may then admit the first node into the network. The network may be a Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®) network.
