<p>A method and apparatus handles authentication on an IPv6 network, in which IPv6 security network nodes are allowed to communicate with each other through mutual authentication using secure information transmitted from a certificate authority, thus minimizing the amount of messages exchanged between the certificate authority and each node. Further, it is possible to essentially block nodes accessing to the IPv6 security network maliciously by handling mutual authentication through the exchanged messages when initial authentication is handled between a certificate authority handling authentication on the IPv6 security network and a node accessing to the IPv6 security network. <IMAGE></p> |
