Authentication method, server and television

Abstract

The invention provides an authentication method, a server and a television. The authentication method comprises the steps that when an authentication request from the television is received, a random number is sent to the television; first encrypted data and television identification from the television are received and a pre-stored television side public key corresponding to the television identification is used for conducting decryption on the first encrypted data, wherein the first encrypted data are data generated through the method that encryption is conducted on the random number by a television side private key used by the television and the television side public key and the television side private key are a pair of matched keys; whether a decrypted random number is identical to the random number fed back to the television is judged; if the judged result shows that the two random numbers are identical, a successful authentication result is sent to the television. According to the technical scheme, bidirectional authentication of the server and the television is achieved, an external device is not needed, the authentication process is simple, the random numbers are involved in the authentication process, and the safety of the authentication system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of information technology, in particular to an authentication method, a server and a television. Background technique [0002] Smart Internet TV is a new generation of functional TV. This product breaks through the old mode of traditional TV that can only watch TV programs and cannot interact. Users can conveniently experience online online games, online photo albums, online shopping and Internet services such as instant messaging, but while users enjoy the convenience brought by the Internet, the security protection of user information, especially the security and reliability of user access to the network, is also facing huge challenges. [0003] In view of this problem, the traditional solution is that the user enters account password and other information for authentication when logging in to the server. This method is the easiest to be attacked and the least secure. In the prior art, some use the dynamic ...

Problems solved by technology

This method also has security loopholes. First of all, adding trusted computing hardware modules to the TV will increase the cost, and in the process of communicating with the server, the key and method of data encryption must be the same as those on the server. In this way, if the server is attacked and compromised, Then the key on the TV side and the entire root-of-trust system can be cracked. Even if the server side is secure, the communication process cannot resist replay attacks, that is, the attacker can easily obtain the data flow in a certain authentication process, and then use these ciphertexts to The data is resent, which can easily fool the server

Secondly, only TVs with trusted computing modules can support this solution, and currently there are not many TVs with trusted computing modules on the market, which also means that this solution is not universal and its application is very limited

[0005] The above two traditional authentication schemes can only achieve one-way authentication, that is, only the server can authenticate the TV, but the TV cannot authenticate the server.
