A method and system for identity authentication

Abstract

The invention discloses an identity authentication method and an identity authentication system. The method comprises the following steps: fixed identity identification information, a key schedule and a dynamic identity function are exchanged between a server and a client; a first random number is transmitted to the server and first response information transmitted by the client and second random number are received; the hash values of the first random number, the first dynamic identity information and the fixed client identity identification information as original texts are calculated and compared with the first response information, if the same hash values are present, the authentication is qualified; second response information is calculated and transmitted to the client, so that the hash values of the second random number, the second dynamic identity information and the fixed server identity identification information as the original texts are calculated by the client and compared with the second response information; if the same hash values are present, the authentication is qualified. The method is characterized in that the dynamic identity information is flexible and changeable, the information can be prevented from being revealed, the password encoding difficulty is increased and the security of the identity authentication is improved. Besides the method further comprises the following steps of key negotiation, heartbeat authentication and key schedule update, and thus the communication security and the periodic identity authentication are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an identity authentication method and system. Background technique [0002] The vigorous development of network and communication technology has subtly affected people's life and production. In recent years, more and more information security incidents such as hacker attacks and large-scale website account password leaks have occurred, making information security a focus of attention. As the first checkpoint of the information system, the identity authentication mechanism prevents illegal external intrusion and ensures the safe and orderly operation of the system by confirming the identity of the communication entity accessing the network. The essence of identity authentication is to use the uniqueness of identity characteristics, that is, the identity characteristics of the authenticated party. Except for the authenticated party itself, no third party (except some certif...

Problems solved by technology

However, these methods have at least the following problems: the one-way authentication between the server and the client cannot resist server forgery attacks; In addition, some identity authentication protocols only implement identity authentication before normal communication, and do not regularly reconfirm the identity of the communication entity during the normal data interaction phase, so as to maintain the sustainable and effective identity of the communication entity; authentication data is transmitted in plain text , can not guarantee the security of data transmission; in occasions where a session key is required to encrypt data, the generation of the key often requires the support of a third-party trusted organization, which is inconvenient to implement
