Secure Registration and Ignition of Network Nodes on a Multi-Hop Wireless Network

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a network node of a multi-hop wireless network may receive, from a network management system associated with the multi-hop wireless network, a request for identifying information associated with the network node. The network node may then send, responsive to the request for identifying information, to the network management system, registration information associated with the network node, wherein the registration information includes cipher text encoded with a public key, wherein the encoded cipher text is configured to be decoded with a private key, and wherein the encoded cipher text includes a MAC address and an identifier assigned to the network node.
