Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of authentication, and more specifically, to an authentication method, device and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] If a wireless terminal wants to access the wireless network, it needs to scan to find the access point (commonly known as "hot spot"), and then enter the authentication stage. In the authentication stage, the access point authenticates the client. After the client passes the authentication, A client associates with an access point. [0003] However, the inventor found in the process of implementing the present invention that the current authentication is only the authentication of the access point to the client, and there may be criminals in life who create some access points to trick users into connecting, and then implement illegal operations in the background to obtain User's private information. [0004] Therefore, how to effectively prevent the client from mista...
