Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless network management, in particular to a wireless network security management method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current identity authentication mechanism of wireless network device management mainly relies on two types of mainstream application schemes: one type is to adopt the combination of device unique identifier and static password, and to complete identity confirmation by verifying the consistency of device exclusive identifier and preset static password; the other type is to construct a complex algorithm based on device unique identifier and random number, and to realize identity verification by comparing whether the operation results of device end and server end match. These two types of schemes are widely used in network access authentication and operation and maintenance management scenarios of various wireless devices such as core network, base station, CPE, wireless terminal, etc., and are common technical means to protect the security of wireless network basic access.

[0003] However, the existing technical schemes have significant security defects and application limitations: in the first type of scheme, the static password is easily obtained by illegal means due to improper management, transmission leakage, etc., and once the password is leaked, the attacker can directly fake the device identity to access the network; the second type of scheme introduces a complex algorithm to improve the cracking difficulty, but if the algorithm itself has design flaws or is reverse cracked, the entire authentication mechanism will be invalid. The common risk of the two types of schemes is that they both rely on the security of a single authentication dimension, lack of bidirectional verification and dynamic protection mechanism, and once the password or algorithm is broken, the authentication process is at risk of being bypassed, which poses a serious security threat to the access control, data transmission and operation and maintenance management of wireless network, and cannot meet the high security requirements of wireless network for device identity authentication.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Reference Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of the present application provides a wireless network security management method, comprising the following steps:

[0046] S1, initializing the key management system parameters and administrator user information of the platform end through the system initialization module; generating and configuring the platform end signature asymmetric key pair and the platform end encryption asymmetric key pair by calling the key management module; generating the device end signature asymmetric key pair and the device end encryption asymmetric key pair for the wireless device to be accessed through the key management module; and entering and storing the basic information of the wireless device through the wireless device management module;

[0047] S2, based on the device end and platform end signature asymmetric key pair and encryption asymmetric key pair, the wireless device initiates a two-way identity authentication request to the platform end through the request gateway module before accessing the wireless network; the authentication request includes first encryption information and first signature information;

[0048] S3, the platform end decrypts the first encryption information in the authentication request through the platform end encryption private key, obtains the device unique identifier, queries the corresponding device end signature public key based on the device unique identifier, and verifies the first signature information in the authentication request through the device end signature public key, to complete the identity authentication of the wireless device;

[0049] S4, after the device end identity authentication is passed, the platform end generates a second random number, and splices the second random number with the device unique identifier to form second splicing information; the second splicing information is encrypted and signed through the device end encryption public key and the platform end signature private key respectively to form second encryption information and second signature information, which are returned to the device end through the request gateway module.

[0050] S5, the device end decrypts the second encryption information by using a device end encryption private key, and verifies the second signature information by using a platform end signature public key, to complete identity authentication of the platform end;

[0051] S6, after the two-way identity authentication is completed, the wireless device is allowed to access the wireless network in combination with a device access white list configured in a security policy configuration module and a device registration state in the wireless device management module; a system administrator logs in the system through a user authority management module, and identity authentication and authority verification of the administrator are performed in combination with the request gateway module; after the wireless device accesses, heartbeat communication and the two-way identity authentication process are performed between the wireless device and the platform end according to a set frequency;

[0052] S7, based on a state that the wireless device accesses the wireless network, network communication strategies configured by the security policy configuration module are used to control and manage the communication between devices; the running state monitoring, the security situation analysis, the user operation and the device log auditing of the wireless device are performed by the monitoring and alarming module, the security situation analysis module and the log auditing module respectively.

[0053] In the embodiment, in step S1, the key management system parameters and the administrator user information of the platform end are initialized by the system initialization module; the platform end signature asymmetric key pair and the platform end encryption asymmetric key pair are generated and configured by calling the key management module; the device end signature asymmetric key pair and the device end encryption asymmetric key pair of the wireless device to be accessed are generated by the key management module; and the basic information of the wireless device is input and stored by the wireless device management module.

[0054] Specifically, after the system initialization module is started, the core running parameters of the platform end key management system, such as the key generation algorithm, the key validity period, and the basic information of the administrator user, such as the account and the initial authority, are initialized in a standardized manner in priority, to ensure that the system core components have running conditions. Then, the system calls the key management module, generates the platform end exclusive signature asymmetric key pair and the encryption asymmetric key pair according to a preset encryption standard, and completes the binding configuration of the keys on the platform end. At the same time, the key management module generates an exclusive and unique device end signature asymmetric key pair and a device end encryption asymmetric key pair for each wireless device to be accessed, to ensure that the identity authentication of the device and the platform has a unique identifier. Finally, the basic information of the wireless device is input and stored by the wireless device management module, to provide data support for subsequent device identity recognition and authority control.

[0055] The platform-side signature asymmetric key pair includes: a platform-side signature public key and a platform-side signature private key; the platform-side encryption asymmetric key pair includes: a platform-side encryption public key and a platform-side encryption private key; the device-side signature asymmetric key pair includes: a device-side signature public key and a device-side signature private key; the device-side encryption asymmetric key pair includes: a device-side encryption public key and a device-side encryption private key.

[0056] The basic information of a wireless device includes: device name, device type, device unique identifier, device serial number, device International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), device IP address, device MAC address, and device manufacturer information.

[0057] In this embodiment, in step S2, based on the signature asymmetric key pair and encryption asymmetric key pair of the device and the platform, the wireless device initiates a two-way authentication request to the platform through the request gateway module before accessing the wireless network; the authentication request includes first encryption information and first signature information.

[0058] Specifically, based on the asymmetric key pair between the device and the platform generated in step S1, before initiating a network access request, the wireless device first generates a first random number, concatenates its own unique identifier with the first random number to form first concatenated information, and then encrypts this first concatenated information using the platform's encryption public key to generate first encrypted information; simultaneously, it signs the first concatenated information using its own device-side signing private key to generate first signed information. Subsequently, the wireless device uses the first encrypted information and the first signed information as core parameters to initiate a two-way authentication request to the platform through the request gateway module. After receiving the two-way authentication request, the request gateway module performs a preliminary verification of the wireless device using the device network access whitelist; after successful verification, the request gateway module forwards the two-way authentication request to the platform for authentication.

[0059] In this embodiment, in step S3, the platform decrypts the first encrypted information in the authentication request using the platform's encrypted private key to obtain a unique device identifier; it then queries the corresponding device signature public key based on the unique device identifier and verifies the first signature information in the authentication request using the device signature public key to complete the authentication of the wireless device.

[0060] Specifically, after receiving the authentication request forwarded in step S2, the platform first uses its stored platform-side encrypted private key to decrypt the first encrypted information in the request. If decryption is successful, it extracts the device's unique identifier and a first random number; if decryption fails, it directly determines that the device authentication has failed. Subsequently, based on the device's unique identifier obtained through decryption, the platform queries the corresponding device-side signature public key through the wireless device management module. It then uses this device-side signature public key to verify the first signature information in the authentication request, confirming whether the first concatenated information has been tampered with and whether it was genuinely initiated by the device. When decryption and signature verification are successful, the wireless device's identity authentication is completed; failure at any step terminates the authentication process.

[0061] In this embodiment, in step S4, after the device authentication is successful, the platform generates a second random number and concatenates the second random number with the device's unique identifier to form second concatenated information. The second concatenated information is then encrypted and signed using the device's encryption public key and the platform's signing private key, respectively, to form second encrypted information and second signed information, which are then returned to the device via the request gateway module.

[0062] Specifically, after confirming the device's identity in step S3, the platform generates a second random number and concatenates it with the device's unique identifier to form second concatenated information, ensuring the uniqueness and relevance of the feedback information. Subsequently, the platform encrypts the second concatenated information using the device's public encryption key configured in step S1, generating second encrypted information. Simultaneously, it signs the second concatenated information using its own platform-side signing private key, generating second signed information. Finally, the platform returns the second encrypted information and the second signed information to the device via the request gateway module, providing the device with decryptable and signature-verifiable credentials to verify the platform's identity.

[0063] In this embodiment, in step S5, the device decrypts the second encrypted information using its private encryption key and verifies the second signature information using the platform's public signature key, thus completing the authentication of the platform's identity.

[0064] Specifically, after receiving the second encrypted information and the second signature information returned in step S4, the device first uses its stored device-side encryption private key to decrypt the second encrypted information. If decryption is successful, it extracts the second random number and the device's unique identifier to confirm that the information source is related to itself. If decryption fails, it determines that the platform's identity is illegitimate and terminates the network access process. Subsequently, the device verifies the second signature information using the platform's signature public key configured in step S1 to verify whether the second concatenated information has been tampered with and whether it was genuinely sent by the target platform. When decryption is successful and signature verification is passed, the identity authentication of the platform is completed, and the two-way identity authentication between the device and the platform is now complete.

[0065] In this embodiment, in step S6, after the two-way authentication is completed, the wireless device is allowed to access the wireless network by combining the device access whitelist configured in the security policy configuration module and the device registration status in the wireless device management module; the system administrator logs into the system through the user permission management module and performs administrator identity authentication and permission verification in combination with the request gateway module; after the wireless device accesses the network, it performs heartbeat communication and two-way authentication process with the platform at a set frequency.

[0066] Specifically, after two-way authentication is completed, the system first queries the device whitelist in the security policy configuration module and simultaneously verifies the device's registration status in the wireless device management module. Only when the device is both on the whitelist and its registration status is valid is it allowed to access the wireless network. At the same time, the system administrator needs to initiate a login request by entering account information through the user permission management module, requesting the gateway module to collaborate with the user permission management module to complete the administrator's identity authentication and permission verification, authorizing only the administrator to perform operations such as whitelist modification and policy configuration. After the wireless device successfully accesses the network, it will conduct heartbeat communication with the platform at preset time intervals. During each heartbeat communication, the two-way authentication process of steps S2-S5 is repeated to ensure the continued validity of the device's identity after access.

[0067] Each heartbeat communication is initiated through the request gateway module.

[0068] In this embodiment, in step S7, based on the status of the wireless device accessing the wireless network, the network communication policy configured by the security policy configuration module is used to control the communication between devices; the monitoring and alarm module, security situation analysis module, and log auditing module are used to monitor the operating status of the wireless device, analyze the security situation, and audit user operations and device logs, respectively.

[0069] Specifically, based on the network connectivity status of wireless devices, the security policy configuration module precisely controls communication behavior between devices through preset network communication policies, allowing only policy-compliant communication to proceed normally, while blocking unauthorized communication. Simultaneously, the monitoring and alarm module collects real-time device operating status data and alarm information, and promptly notifies administrators after data fusion. The security situation analysis module aggregates device operating status, alarm information, and communication traffic information, displaying it in the form of a network topology map, supporting administrators to drill down and locate security vulnerabilities. The log auditing module comprehensively records user operation logs, device authentication logs, and operation logs, and supports querying and auditing these logs, providing complete data support for security incident tracing and compliance auditing.

[0070] The network communication strategy controls communication between devices by configuring a five-tuple of information: source device IP, source device port, destination device IP, destination device port, and communication protocol.

[0071] In this embodiment, the two-way authentication process based on asymmetric keys is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the specific authentication steps are as follows:

[0072] T1. The device generates a random number RandomA, and concatenates the device's unique identifier DeviceId with RandomA to form concatenated information (DeviceId|RandomA). First, the concatenated information is encrypted with the platform's encryption public key to obtain the EncA value, and then the concatenated information is signed with its own signing private key to obtain the SigA value.

[0073] T2. The device initiates a two-way authentication request to the wireless network security management system platform (hereinafter referred to as the "platform"), submitting the EncA value and SigA value as core parameters together.

[0074] T3. After receiving the two-way authentication request, the platform immediately parses out the EncA and SigA values.

[0075] T4. The platform calls its own encrypted private key to decrypt the EncA value: if decryption is successful, the concatenated information (DeviceId|RandomA) is extracted; if decryption fails, the device authentication is directly determined to be unsuccessful, and the process jumps to step T6.

[0076] T5. The platform queries the signature public key and encryption public key value corresponding to the device based on the DeviceId obtained by decryption, and uses the signature public key value of the device to verify the concatenated information (DeviceId|RandomA) and SigA value: if the verification is successful, the device authentication is successful; if the verification fails, the device authentication is deemed unsuccessful.

[0077] T6. The platform stores and records the authentication result of this device.

[0078] T7. Only when the device authentication is successful, the platform generates a random number RandomB, concatenates DeviceId and RandomB to form concatenated information (DeviceId|RandomB), first encrypts the concatenated information with the device's public key to obtain the EncB value, and then signs the concatenated information with its own signing private key to obtain the SigB value.

[0079] T8. The platform returns a response result to the device: If the authentication process is normal, it returns the EncB value and SigB value; if an error occurs in step T4 or step T5, it returns the corresponding error code and error description.

[0080] T9. After receiving the response data from the platform, the device parses out the EncB and SigB values ​​(if it is an abnormal response, it directly records the authentication failure).

[0081] T10. The device calls its own encrypted private key to decrypt the EncB value: If decryption is successful, the concatenated information (DeviceId|RandomB) is extracted; if decryption fails, the two-way authentication is determined to have failed, and the process jumps to step T12.

[0082] T11. The device uses the platform's signature public key value to verify the concatenated information (DeviceId|RandomB) and SigB value: if the verification is successful, the two-way authentication is successful; if the verification fails, the two-way authentication fails.

[0083] T12. The device stores the result of this two-way authentication to provide a basis for subsequent network access, communication and other operations.

[0084] The application scenarios of this invention are as follows:

[0085] In the operation and maintenance scenario of wireless network in enterprise parks, this invention accurately identifies legitimate devices and blocks unauthorized access through two-way identity authentication and whitelist management, ensuring the security of internal core data transmission.

[0086] In the scenario of interconnection of wireless devices in the Industrial Internet of Things, this invention uses key lifecycle management and communication policy configuration to achieve secure access and compliant communication of devices such as sensors and controllers, and prevents devices from being hijacked and tampered with.

[0087] In public area wireless network service scenarios, this invention monitors the status of access devices in real time through dynamic heartbeat authentication and situational analysis, quickly handles abnormal access behavior, and reduces the risk of network attacks.

[0088] In the scenario of network deployment of operator base stations and terminal equipment, this invention relies on multi-module collaboration and log auditing functions to realize full-process security management of base stations, CPE and other equipment, and ensure the stability and security of wireless network coverage;

[0089] In the scenario of wireless terminal access in smart campuses, this invention regulates the network access behavior of teachers' and students' terminals and teaching equipment through user permission hierarchy and device communication control, thereby preventing the abuse of campus network resources.

[0090] It should be noted that the method of this embodiment can be applied to a distributed scenario, where multiple devices cooperate to complete the task. In such a distributed scenario, one of these devices may execute only one or more steps of the method in this embodiment, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the method described.

In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in a different order than that shown in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired result. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require a specific or sequential order to achieve the desired result.
