Method for Determining Trusted Terminal and Related Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18319972 Titled 'Method for Determining Trusted Terminal and Related Apparatus'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system where a policy control apparatus verifies the identity of a terminal. Once the verification is successful, the apparatus generates a trust identifier and sends it to the terminal. The terminal saves this trust identifier. When the terminal wants to access an application server, an environment awareness client in the terminal retrieves the trust identifier from its saved location. The terminal then sends an access request to the policy control apparatus, including the trust identifier. The apparatus uses the trust identifier to determine that the terminal is trusted.
Original Abstract Submitted
A policy control apparatus performs identity authentication on a terminal. After the identity authentication on the terminal succeeds, the policy control apparatus generates a trust identifier and sends the trust identifier to the terminal. The terminal saves the trust identifier. When the terminal needs to access an application server, an environment awareness client installed in the terminal obtains the trust identifier from a location at which the trust identifier is saved in the terminal. The terminal sends an access request that carries a trust identifier to the policy control apparatus. The policy control apparatus determines, based on the trust identifier, that the terminal is a trusted terminal.
