1. An authentication method, comprising:
receiving, by a first network node, an enrollment request from a second network node;
obtaining a public key of the second network node from the enrollment request after the receiving, by the first network node, of the enrollment request from the second network node;
obtaining, by the first network node, position information of the second network node, wherein the obtaining, by the first network node, of the position information includes
sending, by the first network node, public key information of the second network node to a fourth network node, and
receiving the position information of the second network node sent by the fourth network node after the fourth network node determines the second network node corresponding to the public key information; and
authenticating, by the first network node, the second network node according to the position information obtained, of the second network node,
wherein the public key information of the second network node is the public key of the second network node or an operation value uniquely corresponding to the second network node and calculated according to the public key of the second network node.
