In the context of the mathrmSU(3)c \⊗ SU(3)L \⊗ U(1)X \⊗\nU(1)N (3-3-1-1) extension of the standard model, we show how the\nspontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry gives rise to a residual symmetry\nwhich accounts for dark matter stability and small neutrino masses in a\nscotogenic fashion. As a special feature, the gauge structure implies that one\nof the light neutrinos is massless and, as a result, there is a lower bound for\nthe 0\ν\β\β decay rate.\n
