Method and apparatus for performing mutual authentication within a network
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for mutual authentication of a first and a second node is provided herein. During operation the first node sends a first authentication message to the second node comprising information needed for the second node to authenticate the first node and information needed by the second node for the second node to be authenticated by the first node. A second authentication message is received from the second node comprising information needed by the first node for the first node to be authenticated by the second node and information needed for the first node to authenticate the second node. Because the first and the second authentication messages comprise information needed for both the first and the second node to authenticate each other, messaging within the network is greatly reduced.
