<p>An authentication method and device are provided in the embodiments of the present invention, said method including the following steps: receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network authentication request sent by a User Equipment (UE); according to said IMS network authentication request, obtaining the authentication information of an application server from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS); sending the IMS network authentication response message containing the authentication information of said application server to the UE, so as to trigger said UE to utilize the authentication information of said application server to carry out authentication in said application server. By carrying the authentication information of the application server in the returned result of the IMS network authentication, the method of the embodiments of the invention enables uniform authentication of the IMS and the application server without requiring the user's manually intervening the authentication process of the application server. The method brings great convenience to the usage of users and the management of operators; and in addition, the existing IMS authentication flow is fully utilized to implement the method in a simple manner.</p> |
