We propose a Centralized Tree based Diffie-Hellman (CTDH) protocol for wireless mesh networks, which take into account the characteristics of mesh network operations, wireless routers and mobile devices. Performance analysis shows that CTDH is more efficient than the Tree-Based Group Diffie-Hellman Protocol (TGDH).
