I am working on a mesh cloud with wep encryption on wireless channel, olsr and openvpn to have a tunnel with gateway.

Batman has a tunnel with gateway but is it possible to secure it? In first step only clients with proper credentials can start tunnel and in second step tunnel is crypted.

As the tunnel connects 2 nodes inside the mesh, ipsec transport (not tunnel) could secure communication. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec#Transport_mode

This would require less changes then implementing an additional tunnel for encryption.
