1. A method of creating secure endpoints on a network, including:
registering by a node to a registration server using a random selection algorithm to choose the registration server to register to;
receiving by the node, a property set ID of a property set that the node is a member of, wherein the property set ID allows the node to look up its authorization in a setting file for authorization; and
authorizing to join a secure network by the node through an authorization server that is a member of at least one community of interest to which the node is a member using the property set ID of the property set to look up its authorization details including the authorization server in the property set wherein the node is a member of at least one community of interest in a secure network environment.
