Authentication method, equipment and system

Abstract

The invention provides an authentication method, equipment and system. The method comprises the following steps: the authentication equipment intercepts an authentication connection establishing request of a user terminal and acquires a target TCP (Transmission Control Principle) multiplexing connection according to the authentication connection establishing request; the authentication equipment transmits the intercepted authentication request information of the user terminal to an authentication server through the target TCP multiplexing connection, receives an authentication response page returned by the authentication server through the target TCP multiplexing connection and forwards the authentication response page to the user terminal; the user terminal carries out integrity detection on the authentication response page according to an integrity detection instruction in the authentication response interface and transmits a page keep-alive instruction to the authentication server when a detection result indicates the authentication response page is integral; and the authentication equipment releases the occupancy of the user terminal to the target TCP multiplexing connection according to the monitored page keep-alive instruction. According to the technical scheme disclosed by the invention, the problem of connection number bottleneck faced by the authentication server in the prior art is solved, and the network operation cost and the authentication cost are reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to network communication technology, in particular to an authentication method, equipment and system. Background technique [0002] In the process of gradual development of broadband access services, access authentication technology is a hot technology in network development. At present, authentication methods mainly include Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) authentication, 802.1X authentication and Portal authentication (also known as Web authentication) based on Ethernet. Among them, Portal authentication does not require a client to be installed on the user's terminal device, and authentication can be completed by installing a browser. It is a flexible access control method, and therefore has been widely used. [0003] In the actual application environment, the access user can complete access authentication through the following steps: [0004] Step 1. When the user is ready to access the network, start any browser...
