Abstract
In an ad hoc mesh network, roles are assignment to the different network nodes, for example mesh point or mesh portal. The invention envisages that a network node identifies the certification and thus the permitted roles of another network node before it sends a message to said other network node. This ensures that the roles maintain their integrity and the security in the network is enhanced.

29. A network node, comprising:
a processing unit constructed and arranged such that, to determine a task authorization for a task for a first network node, the node determines a security requirement assigned to the task, to check whether the first network node meets the security requirement, and to refuse the task authorization for the first network node if the first network node does not meet the security requirement. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)

32. A network, comprising:
-
at least one network node, wherein the at least one network node has; a processing unit embodied, to determine a task authorization for a task for a first network node, where the node determines a security requirement assigned to the task, to check whether the first network node meets the security requirement, and to refuse the task authorization for the first network node if the first network node does not meet the security requirement. - View Dependent Claims (33)
