As a brand-new network structure, WLAN mesh network has high capacity, high speed and wide coverage.But security issues have become a main hindrance to enlarge WLAN mesh network business. This paper provides a new Blockchain-Based Authentication Protocol for WLAN Mesh Security Access Scheme, to resolve the issues of requiring key delivery and central server during IEEE 802.11i and IEEE 802.11s authentication. This method takes the user’s authentication request as a transaction, considers all the authentication records in the mesh network as the public ledger and realizes the effective monitoring of the malicious attack. Lastly this paper analyzes the security of the Protocol in detail,and proves this method can solve the dependence of the authentication node on PKI and CA.
