MOBILE USER AUTHENTICATION IN CONNECTION WITH ACCESS TO MOBILE SERVICES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a system for enabling a server (120) on a packet switched network (130) to authenticate a user of a wireless terminal (100) prior to granting the terminal access to a service administrated by the server. According to the invention, the wireless terminal (100) initiates transmission of a first set of user identification parameters to a server (120) over a first communication path (140), after which the terminal (100) transmits a second set of user identification parameters to the server (120) over a second communication path (150). The server (120) then bases authentication of the wireless terminal (100) on a match between the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters.
