Authentication method and system and proxy server

Abstract

The invention discloses an authentication method and system and a proxy server The method comprises the steps that a terminal obtains a to-be-visited address inputted by a browser webpage, and sends a first request according to the to-be-visited address; the proxy server returns a response with a redirection address to the terminal according to the first request; the terminal sends a second request to an authentication server according to the redirection address, wherein the second request carries out the hardware information of the terminal; the authentication server obtains the hardware information from the second request, generates a first identification parameter according to the hardware information, and transmits the first identification parameter to the terminal; the terminal transmits a third request for authentication to the proxy server according to the first identification parameter; the proxy server employs the first identification parameter to request the authentication server to carry out the verification of the effectiveness of the first identification parameter, and passes the authentication request of the terminal when the verification is passed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to an authentication method, system and proxy server. Background technique [0002] With the development of smart terminals and Internet technology, users can connect to the Internet with WIFI hotspots or mobile data networks (such as 2G, 3G or 4G) at any time, so as to realize convenient life services through various applications installed on smart terminals. [0003] At present, more and more merchants can provide users with free WIFI services, so that customers can access the wireless network at any time when they enter the store, and enjoy various networking services. There are several implementation plans as follows: [0004] Solution 1: Display the WIFI login account information in a more eye-catching place in the business place, such as the menu or on the wall of the store. The disadvantage is that the user needs to manually connect to the merchant WIFI and manually enter the accou...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Solution 1: Display the WIFI login account information in a more eye-catching place in the business place, such as the menu or on the wall of the store. The disadvantage is that the user needs to manually connect to the merchant WIFI and manually enter the account information used to log in to WIFI. In addition to this interactive method In addition to being cumbersome, manually entering account information is very easy to make mistakes

like Figure 1-2 Shown is a schematic diagram of realizing WIFI login by following the official account of the merchant. The account information for logging in to WIFI is obtained through the keywords of the official account. The information is still the account information used to log in to WIFI, such as the user name "XXXXXXX" and password "YYY", but the user does not need to enter the account information one by one, but just copy and paste the account information, which is similar to the solution 1. There is no qualitative leap, and the interaction method is still relatively cumbersome

[0006] Option 3: Similar to Option 2, the official account of the merchant is also used, such as image 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of realizing WIFI login by following the official account of the merchant. It is an optional way to follow the official account after connecting to the WIFI login through WeChat first. Following the official account is not a necessary condition. The disadvantage is: need to use A special application (such as WeChat application) is used to realize the access of WIFI login. Although there is no need to manually enter the login information, the interaction method will be limited. If the special application (such as WeChat application) is not installed, this solution cannot actually be used

[0007] For the above problems, there is no effective solution in related technologies
