Description

Network transmission method suitable for ternary peer-to-peer authentication trusted network connection architecture The application claims to be submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on December 11, 2009, the application number is 200910311270.3, and the invention name is "a suitable for ternary peer identification. Priority of the Chinese Patent Application for the Network Transmission Method of the Network Connection Architecture, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a network transmission method for a ternary peer-to-peer authentication trusted network connection architecture.

Background technique

With the development of information technology, the problems of malware such as viruses and worms are extremely prominent. More than 35,000 malware have been reported, and more than 40 million computers are infected every year. To contain such attacks, not only security transmissions and data entry checks, but also defenses from the source, from each terminal connected to the network. Traditional security defense technologies are no longer able to defend against a wide variety of malicious attacks.

In response to this problem, the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has developed a network connection specification based on trusted computing technology—Trusted Network Connect (TNC), which is labeled TCG-TNC. It includes an open terminal integrity architecture and a set of standards to ensure secure interoperability. See Figure 1 for the TCG-TNC architecture.

Since the policy enforcement point in the TCG-TNC architecture is at the edge of the network, and the access requester does not take countermeasures to perform platform authentication, the architecture has a problem that the policy enforcement point cannot be trusted. To understand this problem, a TNC architecture based on Tri-element Peer Authentication (TePA) was proposed. See Figure 2 for the TePA-based TNC architecture.

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework that is used for point-to-point authentication and supports multiple authentication mechanisms. EAP does not specify the authentication method during the link control phase, but defers the process to the authentication phase. This allows the discriminator to request more information before deciding which authentication method to use. This mechanism allows a "back-end" authentication server to be used to actually perform the authentication mechanism, while the discriminator simply passes the authentication exchange information.

Since EAP is only an authentication framework suitable for point-to-point authentication protocols, EAP is not suitable for implementing three-party authentication protocols, such as: ternary peer-to-peer authentication protocol—the authentication is based on trusted third parties to implement two-way authentication. In order to meet the needs of the three-party authentication protocol, an authentication box suitable for the three-party authentication protocol Architecture Tri-element Authentication Extensible Protocol

TAEP is proposed, in which the format of the TAEP packet is the same as that of the EAP packet, but the hierarchical model of TAEP is different from EAP.

The format of the TAEP package is as follows:

Among them, the meaning of each field is as follows:

The Code field is 1 octet long and indicates the type of TAEP packet:

1 Request

2 Response

3 Success

4 Failure

The Identifier field is one octet long and is used to match the Request and Response packets. The Length field is 2 octets in length and represents the total number of octets in the entire TAEP packet, which is the sum of the lengths of all fields including Code, Identifier, Length, and Data.

The Data field is variable in length, and the packet contains zero or more octets, the format of which is determined by the value of the Code field. If the value of the Code field is Request or Response, the Bell 'J Data field contains a Type field and a Type-Date field, and the Type field may be Identity and TP Authentication. If the value of the Code field is Success or Failure, the Data field does not exist.

The TAEP reuse model is shown in Figure 3:

Based on this model, the steps for TAEP message interaction are as follows:

1) The authentication access controller sends a Request packet to the requester to request to start the authentication, and the Request has a Tpye field indicating the type of the request, and the Type field is Identity, indicating the identity;

2) The requester sends a Response packet to the authentication access controller to respond to a valid Request, and the Response packet includes a Type field corresponding to the Type field in the Request packet, and the Type-Data field contains the identity of the peer;

3) The authentication access controller sends a Request packet to the authentication server, and the Request has a Type field indicating the type of the request, and Type is TP Authentication, which is used to request the authentication method type from the authentication server; 4) the authentication server sends a Response packet to the authentication access controller, and the Response packet includes a Type field corresponding to the Type field in the Request packet;

5) The authentication access controller selects an authentication method to start the authentication process according to the type of authentication method returned by the authentication server. The Request packet is sent to the requester, and the requester responds to the Response packet to the authentication access controller, and the sequence of Request and Response continues to interact as needed. The authentication access controller sends a Request packet to the authentication server, and the authentication server responds to the Authentication Access Controller with a Response packet. The sequence of this Request and Response will continue to be the required length. The authentication access controller is responsible for retransmitting the Request packet;

6) The conversation continues until the authentication access controller cannot authenticate the requester, the authentication access controller will send the Failure packet to the requester; or the authentication access controller determines that the successful authentication has been completed, authenticates the access controller or stops sending the Request packet, and ends The message interacts, or sends a Success packet to the requester.

In some cases, when the authentication method is determined or otherwise determined by the authentication method and identity, the above steps 3), 4) may be selectively performed.

In the TePA-based TNC architecture shown in FIG. 2, since the network access control layer transmits the above two layers of platform authentication protocol data in addition to the user authentication protocol data, and the platform authentication protocol data is in the access requester and the access controller. There is a need to use a secure tunnel for transmission, so the ternary authentication scalable protocol cannot complete the network transmission of the TePA-based TNC architecture.
