Disclosed are a method for allocating an addressing identifier, an access point, a station and a communication system. The method for allocating an addressing identifier comprises: notifying, by an access point, at least two stations of encrypted new MAC addresses corresponding to each station, and instructing a pre-determined change condition, so that the at least two stations respectively change respective MAC addresses into respective new MAC addresses when reaching the pre-determined change condition; and when the pre-determined change condition is reached, updating, by the access point, the MAC addresses of the at least two stations into new MAC addresses corresponding to the stations, so that the new MAC addresses are used as the MAC addresses of the stations when messages are received from the stations or sent to the stations subsequently. By means of the method above, the present invention prevents an eavesdropper tracking a terminal through the MAC addresses so as to acquire the privacy of a user, thereby guaranteeing the privacy security of the user. |
