Authentication method, system and device for communication network access of device

Abstract

The invention discloses an authentication method and a system for the device accessing communication network. According to the authentication method and system, an authentication managing node receives the authentication request from a request node, then the authentication managing node passes the authentication request to the authentication node which is to be authentication server client; afterthe authentication is started, an interaction of an authentication message between the authentication node and the request node is processed by the authentication managing node. In the authenticationmethod and system, the authentication managing node processes uniform treatment for the authentication process of the entire request node, which is beneficial for the management of the authenticationsituation. In addition, the structure of the authentication managing node, authentication node and authentication server is in accord with the structure of the traditional authentication, which sufficiently supports present mature authentication mechanism. This invention also discloses an authentication managing node device for managing the authentication process of each node in a wireless accessnetwork, which is beneficial to the uniform management and monitor for the authentication situation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an authentication technology for equipment accessing a communication network. Background technique [0002] WPAN (wireless persona l area network, wireless personal area network), is a concept relative to wireless networks such as wireless wide area network (WWAN), wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN), and wireless local area network (WLAN). The typical communication distance is 10 meters for a network composed of devices within the network. Devices within a WPAN can communicate using technologies such as Bluetooth, Ultra Wideband (UWB), or ZigBee. [0003] The network structure of the WPAN is relatively complex, including various network structures such as star, tree and mesh. Multi-hop and self-organization are the main features of WPAN. There are three types of devices in WPAN: coordinator, routing node and end node. Among them, the coordinator is the central manager in the ...
