               1. A communication apparatus, comprising: 
            one or more memories storing instructions; and 
                one or more processors executing the instructions causing the communication apparatus to: 
                perform first wireless communication compliant with a Bluetooth standard; 
                perform second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication; 
                detect, by using the first wireless communication, a partner apparatus with which sharing processing for sharing a communication parameter used for joining a network is to be performed, wherein the partner apparatus joins the network formed by another apparatus; 
                obtain, from the partner apparatus detected, a public key by using the second wireless communication; 
                execute authentication processing with the partner apparatus by transmitting an authentication request including a hash value of the public key obtained, receiving an authentication response that indicates a result of authentication based on the public key, and transmitting an authentication confirmation signal in response to receiving the authentication response; and 
                execute, in a case where the authentication processing succeeds, the sharing processing with the partner apparatus.
