After The Hardware

So we've got all the hardware we need to start our own pirate internet here at home, and the neighbors aren't having a fit about it yet. What we need to do now is to start broadcasting our signals into their homes, and allowing their wireless devices to hop on and authenticate themselves. How do I support wireless handshaking like RIT Claws without requiring a paper exchange to securely transmit passwords? IMHO conventional wisdom dictates a paper exchange is necessary to have a contract or to securely and reliably transmit a password. Telecom companies don't always operate that way.
