Securing wi-fi ad hoc connection

Is there a way to secure a wi-fi ad hoc connection? By secure I mean "really" secure, not WEP secure.

I'm working on a network that will look like this some day.

Each point B is combined out of: access point, router, 2 wi-fi NICs. NICs are used only to connect two B points.
So my question is, how to secure connection between 2 B points? If someone were to hack in one B point he could
do lot of damage so this has to be prevented. It would be easy if APs were used instead of NICs because they have
built in support for authentication via 802.1x and EAP. Any ideas?

You're obviously talking about a VPN with SSL, it's probably as good as it gets for security right now.

Can you explain how would that work?
