A Personal Network (PN) is a network of distributed personal devices that communicate with each other independently from their geographical location. By adding extra functionality to PNs it is possible to enable cooperation between PNs forming a group-oriented network called Fednet. A Fednet is a secure, opportunity or purpose driven ad-hoc sharing of personal resources. In this paper, we provide a description of a Fednet and its lifecycle. We introduce a proxy-based functional architecture of a Fednet and the basic processes of the access control in Fednets. Finally, we compare Fednets with related paradigms, such as grids, Virtual Organizations, Secure Virtual Enclaves and P2P networks.
