AUTHENTICATION SERVER AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING THE MESSAGE RELATED AUTHENTICATION

摘要

An authentication server and a method for processing an authentication-related message are provided to classify various kinds of messages inputted from clients, and to process the classified messages by independent processes or threads, thereby preventing a processing of other messages from being delayed. A connection processor(210) classifies authentication-related messages into a connection message, a session authentication message, and an accounting message, and generates a connection response message by processing the connection message in an independent thread. A session processor(220) receives the session authentication message to classify into an authentication message and an unnecessary session message, and generates a session response message by processing the session message in an independent thread. An authentication processor(230) receives the authentication message to generate an authentication response message by processing the authentication message in an independent thread. An accounting processor(250) receives the accounting message to generate an accounting response message.
