Disclosed is an authentication method of a wireless mesh network capable of reducing overload and communication delay during authentication procedure by performing authentication between nodes without accessing an authentication server. The authentication method of a wireless mesh network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: selecting, by a new node, a first neighbor node among one or more adjacent nodes; transmitting, by the new node, an authentication request message including a public key of the new node; authenticating, by the first neighbor node, the public key of the new node; transmitting, by the first neighbor node, an authentication response message including a public key of the first neighbor node to the new node; and authenticating, by the new node, the public key of the first neighbor node; transmitting, by the new node, an authentication identification message to the first neighbor node. |
