  • Patent number: 7861288
    Abstract: An address allocated to a user by an authentication server is used as an IP address of a packet which is transmitted from a user terminal, preventing an illicit use if the IP address were eavesdropped. An authentication server 100 performs an authentication of a user based on a user authentication information which is transmitted from the user terminal, and upon a successful authentication, allocates an address to the user terminal, and issues a ticket containing the address to be returned to the user terminal. The user terminal sets up the address contained in the ticket as a source address, and transmits the ticket to the application server 300, requesting a session to be established. After verifying that the ticket is authentic, the server 300 stores the ticket and establishes a session with the user terminal. The user terminal transmits a service request packet containing the source address to the server 300 utilizing the session.
