The invention discloses a
system and a method for authenticating terminal trusted access. According to the invention, a public key and identification information of a user are bound and stored in an electronic
certificate through a CA, and identity
authentication of the user is realized; and the
confidentiality, the integrity and the non-repudiation of
user information are ensured by being combined with data
encryption and
digital signature technologies. The
system disclosed by the invention is low in requirement for the overall performance of equipment, can effectively reduce the networking cost, supports
multicast services, is compatible with a PPP (point-to-point protocol), good in expansibility and adaptability, designed with a controllable port and an uncontrollable port, and realizes separation of services and
authentication. The
system does not need to carry out packaging
processing on a data packet after passing
authentication, is high in efficiency, can map different user levels to different VLANs (virtual local area networks), realizes management for user domains with different authorities, and has the advantages of simple implementation mode, high authentication efficiency, safety, reliability and easy operation.
