NETWORK AUTHENTICATION BY USING A WAP-ENABLED MOBILE PHONE

摘要

An existing communications device, such as a WAP-enabled mobile phone or other device, can be used as an authentication token. This has the advantage that WAP-enabled devices include components which are used in public key/private key cryptographic systems as a part of their standard communication fuctions. These components therefore advantageously allow the device to be used as an authentication token when communication with a remoter server.
