PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for establishing a network communication session using high speed authentication. SOLUTION: In a network system, a client or user device establishes a communication session with a server using full authentication. If the session is interrupted or closed, and restart of the session is requested, a session identifier of the previously established session is compared to that of the requested session. If a match is made, the session is restarted using the a high speed authentication (or re-authentication) procedure so that the session is restarted more efficiently and expediently. The high speed authentication is performed, for example, even when the first session and the restarted second session are of different authentication layers, different types of network interfaces and/or different locations. Thus, a session, such as a TLS session, can resume its function in multiple defined authentication protocols or technologies such as 802.1X, PANA or cellular based systems.
