A plurality of authentication devices form and manage a self-organizing mobile peer-to-peer mesh network to provide robust authentication of mobile peers, humans and or mobile devices such as drones, cars, satellites, robots etc. The mesh network may supplement traditional fixed point of entry authentication to combat social engineering penetrations or be used in situations where fixed-point authentication is not viable. Network efficiency can be enhanced by using two-level encryption, a first level of encryption based on permissions to join a mesh network and a simpler second level of encryption based on knowledge shared with members of the network for communication. Making the permissions a function of location can make the network more robust. Re-authenticating member peers based on the occurrence of defined events can further enhance security.
