Related technologies of
the Internet-of-things are developed rapidly and widely applied.
Machine type communication (MTC) can
complete data information exchange and sharing between equipment without
active participation of a user, has the characteristics of low cost, low
power consumption and capability of transmitting information on a large scale, and is one of the most important communication
modes in
the Internet-of-things. Therefore, the security of the MTC needs to be emphasized, and the
data security of the
user needs to be protected. The invention provides a group
authentication methodand a group
authentication system in asynchronous group communication of
machine type communication equipment in an LTE network, which construct a group
authentication scheme by utilizing a (t, n)
secret sharing scheme of Shamir, authenticate m (m is greater than or equal to t)
machine type communication equipment (MTCD) at one time, and ensure the legality of MTCD identity of an
access network. Meanwhile, in the token transmission process, an ElGamal
encryption algorithm is used to ensure the security of the authentication token in the transmission process. By utilizing the method and the
system, the group authentication can be completed only by one-time calculation, the
confidentiality can reach the calculation security, and each group member only needs to carry one authentication token.
