Authentication method and device

Abstract

The invention provides an authentication method and device. The method comprises the following steps: a first line card receives an authentication message for a user terminal sent by a forwarding kernel, wherein the authentication message comprises a first line card address corresponding to the user terminal, and the first line card is determined by the forwarding kernel according to the first line card address; the first line card sends the authentication message to a first business card, wherein the first business card is used for determining a redirection link according to the authentication message and sending the redirection link to the user terminal through the forwarding kernel, and the redirection link points to an authentication server; and the first line card receives an authentication attribute message through the forwarding kernel and sends the authentication attribute message to the authentication server, and the authentication server authenticates the user terminal according to the authentication attribute message, wherein the authentication attribute message is determined by the user terminal according to the redirection link. The authentication method and device provided by the invention has the advantages that the authentication capacity and the authentication performance of an authentication system are improved, and the equipment maintenance cost and the laborcost are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an authentication method and device. Background technique [0002] In OPEN WIFI scenarios such as subways, smart cities, and metropolitan area networks, there is a demand for ultra-large-capacity users to access the Internet. At the same time, there is a need for authentication to control the security of users' online behavior and push some commercial advertisements. At present, WEB authentication is mostly used to meet these requirements. When an unauthenticated user accesses the Internet, the device forces the user to log in to a specific site, and the user can access the services therein for free. When users need to use other information in the Internet, they must be authenticated on the portal website, and Internet resources can only be used after passing the authentication. [0003] However, for the above-mentioned large-capacity scenarios, it is not only ne...
