Challenge-response system for maintenance operations via responder for telecommunications cabinet

摘要

Method of performing a challenge-response process, comprising, in this sequence, the steps of a) providing a first challenge-response pair (50) on a source device (10), assigned to a responding device (30); b) loading the first challenge-response pair (50) from the source device (10) to a challenging device (20), while the source device (10) is operationally connected to the challenging device (20); c) performing a challenge-response process between the challenging device (20) and the responding devices (30) to which the first challenge-response pair (50) is assigned, d) loading one or more second challenge-response pairs (50) from a source device (10) to the challenging device (20), while the source device (10) is operationally connected to the challenging device (20), wherein the step of loading the first challenge-response pair (50) from the source device (10) to a challenging device (20) is performed before the challenging device (20) has received any information from one of the responding devices (30), to which the first challenge-response pair (50) is assigned.

1. A machine-implemented method of performing a challenge-response process, comprising, in this sequence, the steps of
a) providing a first challenge-response pair on a source device, wherein the first challenge-response pair is assigned to one or more responding devices; b) loading the first challenge-response pair from the source device to a challenging device, while the source device is operationally connected to the challenging device; c) performing a challenge-response process between the challenging device and one of the one or more responding devices to which the first challenge-response pair is assigned, using the first challenge-response pair, which is assigned to the responding device; d) loading one or more second challenge-response pairs from a source device to the challenging device, while the source device is operationally connected to the challenging device, characterized in that the step of loading the first challenge-response pair from the source device to a challenging device is performed before the challenging device has received any information from one of the responding devices, to which the first challenge-response pair is assigned.
