<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the setting and operation management even when the number of clients is increased, to realize high security performance, and to extend a tunnel employing the IPsec technology up to a sub-network. <P>SOLUTION: An authentication server 10 authenticates a client 3 in response to an authentication request of the client 3 when e.g., the client 3 in an open network 1 accesses a department network 32. An address processing circuit 11 authenticates the client 3 by the authentication server 10 and thereafter applies address processing to a packet signal related to packet communication between the client 3 and the department network 32 on the basis of an instruction from the authentication server 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
