ABSTRACT:
A method as provided enables mutual authentication of nodes in a wireless communication network. The method includes processing at a first node a beacon message received from a second node, wherein the beacon message comprises a first nonce value (step405). An association request message comprising a certificate of the first node, a first signed block of authentication data, and a second nonce value is then transmitted from the first node to the second node (step410). The second node can then verify a signature of the certificate of the first node and verify a signature of the first signed block of authentication data. An association reply message received from the second node is then processed at the first node (step415), whereby the first node verifies a signature of a certificate of the second node and verifies a signature of a second signed block of authentication data.
