Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an authentication method, a system, a server, and a user node are disclosed herein. The method includes: generating, by a server, a server session key according to the identity information, at least one login information parameter, and the validity period included in the login information, generating at least one session key parameter of a user node according to the generator point of the algebraic curve, and sending at least one session key parameter of the user node to the user node; generating, by the user node, a user node session key according to at least one session key parameter of the user node; performing, by the server and the user node, mutual authentication according to the session keys. The authentication solution under the present disclosure is simple and practicable, and is also applicable to authenticating the user node in a grid computing platform.

Abstract: A bidirectional authentication method, a system, and a network device, that relates to network information security are provided. The method may include: a network device configured to generate an inspection parameter according to a public key of the peer network device and a private key of the network device, the public key and the private key of the network device being generated according to an identifier of the network device. The network device may perform reciprocal authentication according to the inspection parameter generated by the network device and an inspection parameter sent by the peer network device. A system and a network device for bidirectional authentication are also provided herein. As such, extra calculation caused by certificate authentication may be reduced, and thus provide a more secure and reliable system having a simplified key management.
