A first set of device authentication parameters for a to-be-authenticated Bluetooth device in a Bluetooth mesh network is determined based at least in part on device identification information associated with the to-be-authenticated Bluetooth device. First authentication information is generated based at least in part on the first set of device authentication parameters and a first random number. The first authentication information and the first random number are forwarded to the to-be-authenticated Bluetooth device. Second authentication information and a second random number associated with the to-be-authenticated Bluetooth device are received, wherein the second authentication information is generated based at least in part on a second set of device authentication parameters and the second random number. The to-be-authenticated Bluetooth device is authenticated based at least in part on the second authentication information and the second random number.
