Communication Method and Apparatus: abstract simplified (18324474)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18324474 Titled 'Communication Method and Apparatus'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a communication method that involves sending and receiving encrypted information between two nodes. The method includes sending a public key and its signature, receiving encrypted identification information from the second node, decrypting the identification information using a private key, and sending temporary identification information back to the second node. The temporary identification is used to temporarily indicate the identity of the second node.

Original Abstract Submitted

A communication method includes: sending a first public key and a signature of the first public key; receiving first information from a second node, where the first information includes an identification (ID) ciphertext; decrypting the ID ciphertext based on a first private key corresponding to the first public key, to obtain an ID of the second node; and sending second information to the second node, where the second information includes a temporary ID corresponding to the second node, and the temporary ID is used to temporarily indicate an identity of the second node.
