Abstract
Securely setting up mesh networks in a secure manner that does not require a physical network cable being attached to a wireless device and that do not require transmitting unencrypted information wirelessly when a mesh network is setup. Methods and apparatus may use different communication interfaces and different types of channels to ensure that devices included in or being added to a wireless mesh network always communicate securely. Methods and apparatus may use a combination of conventional secure communication methods, such as secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) communications, low power signals that travel over short distances, and other types of communications to create a system that only uses secure communications when setting up or expanding a wireless mesh network.
