Description

传输信息的方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及互联网领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种传输信息的方法和装置。
背景技术
随着网络技术的发展和普及，互联网在各行各业为大众用户提供越来越多的服务(例如，购物、视频、电子邮件、打车、订餐和企业信息管理等等)。用户在使用互联网应用提供的服务之前，一般都需要先进行登录，完成身份认证。最常用的身份认证机制是账号加上密码，单纯使用账号加密码保护用户账号存在两个方面的弊端。一方面是密码可能被其他人窃取。另一方面是用户可能会忘记密码。
移动通讯网络对移动终端有比较完善的认证机制的进一步发展和完善(包括，网络对手机SIM卡的鉴权，以及对签约用户的实名认证等)，越来越多的互联网应用通过手机号码来辅助完成用户的身份认证，提升系统的安全性和用户使用的便捷性。甚至一些应用为了简化操作，进一步提升用户体验，不再使用单独的密码来保护用户账户安全，而完全使用手机短消息传递验证码的方式来完成用户认证和登录。一些应用虽然保留了密码认证的方式，但在用户忘记密码时，可以通过互联网应用提供的“找回密码”功能，即通过手机短消息传递验证码的方式完成用户认证，并通过重新设置密码完成登录。换句话说，手机短消息传递验证码的方式对这些应用来说几乎成了唯一的用户认证方式。
另外，在电子商务交易付款，转账等关键操作时，应用服务器也可能通过向用户的手机发送短消息验证码的方式对正在进行操作的用户身份进行增强的认证。
通过手机短消息传递验证码完成用户认证的方式，一方面，简化了操作，提升了用户体验。但是，另一方面，也存在着安全漏洞。例如，当原用户不想继续使用手机号码，向网络运营商申请停机并注销手机号码后，由于手机号码是有限的网络资源，停机销号后的手机号码并不会永久封存，网络运营商通常是将该手机号码冻结一段时间后重新进行销售，分配给新用户。新用 户获得该手机号码后，假设新用户存在恶意，尝试登录一些热门互联网应用，输入其新获得的手机号码，通过手机短消息传递验证码，或者，通过“忘记密码”的方式重新设置密码，就能完成认证和登录。如果原用户恰好在这些互联网应用中注册了账户并绑定了手机号码，那么新用户就可以进入原用户的应用账号，导致原用户的隐私泄露，造成极大的安全隐患。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例，而不是全部实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都应属于本发明保护的范围。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，编号“第一”、“第二”仅仅为了区分不同 的对象，例如，为了区分不同的用户、用户标识等，不应对本发明实施例的保护范围构成任何限定。
为了便于理解和说明，首先结合图1，对现有技术中传输信息的方法进行简单介绍。
图1是现有技术中传输信息时的一种应用场景。如图1所示，在该应用场景中包括移动通讯网络、互联网应用服务器和用户。三者之间包括如下的交互过程。
1、用户A签约开户，获得手机号码MSISDNA。
2、用户A持有手机号码(MSISDNA)期间注册互联网应用的账号。
3、互联网应用在用户A执行登录或支付等操作时，通过向手机号码MSISDNA发送包含验证码的短消息的方式，对用户A进行身份认证。
4、用户A向移动通讯网络办理该手机号码的停机销号。
具体地，在用户A办理手机号码MSISDNA的停机销号后，移动通讯网络将该手机号码MSISDNA冻结一段时间后，重新进行销售。假设在重新销售时，用户B获得该手机号码MSISDNA。
5、用户B签约开户，获得手机号码MSISDNA。
6、互联网应用在用户B执行登录或支付等操作时，通过向手机号码MSISDNA发送包含验证码的短消息的方式，对用户B进行身份认证。
由此可见，在现有技术中，互联网应用对用户进行身份认证时，通过移动通讯网络向一个手机号码发送包含验证码的短消息，只要用户能够向互联网应用提供手机短消息中传递的验证码，无论当前持有终端设备(例如，手机)的用户是谁，身份认证都可以通过。如果新用户B尝试仿冒原用户A向该互联网应用执行登录或支付等操作，由于包含验证码的短消息会发送给当前持有该手机号码的新用户B，导致新用户B能够完成身份认证，成功执行用户登录或支付等操作。
由于移动通讯网络与互联网应用是由各自不同的企业进行运营和管理，原有用户在移动通讯网络中停机销号，手机号码被重新分配给新的用户。这个手机号码持有者发生变化的信息，并没有同步给互联网应用。互联网应用仍然向登记的手机号码发送验证信息，导致新用户可以接收到实际是发送给原用户的验证信息，从而存在身份仿冒的风险。由于越来越多应用依赖手机短消息来验证用户身份，使得新用户可以冒用原来用户的身份，给原用户带 来损失。因此，在现有技术中，应用服务器与用户之间的信息传输存在安全漏洞。
以下，结合图2至图7，详细说明根据本发明实施例的传输信息的方法。
图2示出了根据本发明实施例的传输信息的方法100的示意性流程图。该方法可以由认证服务器执行。如图2所示，该方法包括：
110、认证服务器接收应用服务器发送的认证请求消息，该认证请求消息包含第一认证凭据信息。
应理解，第一认证凭据是认证服务器分配的，用于唯一地标识一个用户的身份的标识。在本发明实施例中，当拥有某一个用户标识的用户发生改变时，与该用户标识关联的认证凭据也会随之改变。
例如，认证凭据可以为一定长度的电子数据(比如，10个字节长度的二进制码)。
其中，该第一认证凭据与用户标识关联，或与用户标识和该应用服务器的应用标识关联。该用户标识可以为用户的手机号码，电子邮箱账号等。
需要说明的是，该第一认证凭据是该认证服务器在接收应用服务器发送的认证请求消息之前生成，并发送给该应用服务器保存的。并且，该认证服务器在生成该第一认证凭据后，也将该第一认证凭据保存在认证凭据数据库中，以便于后续对该用户的身份进行认证。
在本发明实施例中，应用服务器需要向该用户标识所标识的用户发送信息时，需要向认证服务器提供该用户的认证凭据。其中，应用服务器向认证服务器发送该第一认证凭据信息可以为第一认证凭据本身，或者，为该第一认证凭据的变换形式等。
120、当该第一认证凭据与该认证服务器上的认证凭据匹配时，该认证服务器允许该应用服务器向用户传输信息；或者
当该第一认证凭据与该认证服务器上的认证凭据不匹配时，该认证服务器禁止该应用服务器向用户传输信息。
在本发明实施例中，应用服务器需要向用户发送信息时，首先需要向认证服务器提供该用户的认证凭据。之后，认证服务器会确认(或者说，判断)认证凭据数据库中是否存在与该第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据。如果，认证凭据数据库中存在与该第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据，认证服务器允许该应用服务器向该用户发送信息。如果，证凭据数据库中不存在与该第一认证凭 据匹配的认证凭据，认证服务器禁止该应用服务器向用户发送信息。
可以理解的是，认证凭据数据库是认证服务器上用于存储多个用户的认证凭据(或者说，身份凭据)的。由于每个用户可以由用户标识唯一地标识，因此，也可以说，认证服务器存储有用户标识与认证凭据的对应关系。
具体地说，如果认证凭据数据库中存在与第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据，说明在认证服务器根据该用户标识生成第一认证凭据之后，到认证服务器接收到应用服务器发送的第一认证凭据的期间，该用户标识一直被同一个用户持有。换句话说，通过该用户标识向用户发送信息，会被该用户所持有的终端设备接收到。因此，认证服务器允许应用服务器向该用户标识所标识的用户传输信息。如果认证凭据数据库中不存在与第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据，说明在认证服务器根据该用户标识生成第一认证凭据之后，到认证服务器接收到应用服务器发送的第一认证凭据的期间，该用户标识的持有者已经发生了变化，因而找不到与第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据。或者，认证凭据数据库中不存在与该用户标识对应的认证凭据。或者，该用户标识可能暂时没有被使用。或者，其它可能的情况。无论出于哪种可能的情况，此时，应用服务器向用户传输信息是禁止的。否则，可能会出现，原本是发送给用户A的信息，结果被用户B所持有的终端设备接收到，造成信息的错误发送，使得用户A的信息泄露。
需要说明的是：认证凭据数据库中不存在与第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据，包括多种情况，例如：没有在认证凭据数据库中查找到对应用户的记录；或者在认证凭据数据库中查找到对应用户记录，但记录中没有对应的认证凭据的记录；或者在认证凭据数据库中查找到对应用户记录，并且用户记录中存在对应的认证凭据，但与应用服务器提供的第一认证凭据不匹配，等等。
可以理解的是，应用服务器向用户发送信息是指，应用服务器通过向用户所持有的终端设备发送信息，使得终端设备将信息传递给用户。
需要说明的是，两个认证凭据匹配，包括两个认证凭据完全相同。或者，一个认证凭据是另一个认证凭据的某种变换形式等，后文会作详细说明。
因此，本发明实施例中，应用服务器在向用户发送信息(例如，包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证服务器(或者网络中负责对认证凭据进行匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证服务器才会授权通讯 网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息发送给该用户，否则认证服务器不会授权通讯网络发送该信息给用户。因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。
以下结合多个实施例，对本发明实施例的传输信息的方法进行更加详细的说明。
图3示出了根据本发明一实施例的传输信息的方法的示意性交互图。如图3所示，该方法包括：
201、用户向互联网应用登记用户标识。
在本发明实施例中，用户标识用于在通讯系统或应用服务器中唯一地标识一个用户。例如，用户标识可以为移动用户号码(Mobile Subscriber International ISDN/PSTN number，MSISDN)，邮箱账号等。
应理解，在步骤201，用户一般可以通过应用客户端，网页浏览器等向应用进行注册，登记用户标识，如手机号码。
202、应用服务器向认证服务器获取用户的认证凭据。
203、认证服务器为用户分配认证凭据，并保存。
具体地说，认证服务器可以在用户获得该用户标识(或者，称为身份标识)的时候就分配并存储认证凭据。如，移动通信网络在用户签约获得手机号码时，为用户分配并存储认证凭据。或者，认证服务器也可以在应用服务器首次请求认证凭据时为用户分配认证凭据并保存。
204、认证服务器向应用服务器返回用户的认证凭据。
认证服务器将分配的认证凭据发送给应用服务器。在具体地实施过程中，有多种实现方式。例如，认证服务器在应用服务器请求用户的认证凭据时，将该用户的认证凭据发送给应用服务器。
可以理解的是，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器将第一认证凭据发送给应用服务器以后，可选地，包括步骤205和步骤206。
205、认证设备获取清除用户认证凭据指令。
其中，该清除用户认证凭据指令用于指示认证服务器将该第一认证凭据设置为无效。
需要说明的是，清除用户认证凭据指令可以是针对用户标识的，即，将用户标识对应的认证凭据全部设置为无效。或者，也可以是针对应用标识的，即，只将某个用户标识和某个或某几个应用标识对应的认证凭据设置为无 效。
例如，用户A在使用手机号码#1(用户标识的一例)期间，认证服务器为手机号码#1分配认证凭据#1，用于认证用户A的身份。并且，认证服务器在应用服务器#1(应用服务器的一例)请求获取手机号码#1的认证凭据时，将认证凭据#1发送给应用服务器#1保存。之后，用户A办理停机销号业务，申请将认证凭据#1无效(场景1)。或者，用户A办理停机保号业务，在一段时间内，暂时停止使用手机号码#1(场景2)。又或者，通讯网络侦测到潜在安全风险，例如，存在应用服务器连续多次提供错误的认证凭据时，主动锁定用户的认证凭据(场景3)。
又例如，用户A在使用手机号码#1(用户标识的一例)期间，认证服务器为应用标识#1分配认证凭据#1，用于认证用户A使用应用#1身份。并且，认证服务器在应用服务器#1(应用服务器的一例)请求获取手机号码#1的应用标识#1对应的认证凭据时，将认证凭据#1发送给应用服务器#1保存。之后，如果应用#1存在对用户A进行消息骚扰或其它不规范的情况，移动通讯网络运营商可以根据法律规范或者与用户以及应用的协议规定，将应用#1对应的认证凭据无效(场景4)。
应理解，以上几种情况仅作为示例，不应对本发明实施例的应用场景构成限定。
需要说明的是，认证服务器可以通过连接到运营商网络的运维系统，运维系统在用户进行停机销号，或者，停机保号等需要无效现有认证凭据的操作时，产生该清除请求并发送给认证服务器进行处理。
进一步的，认证服务器也可以根据用户的请求无效认证凭据，如某应用存在推送广告等骚扰用户的行为，则用户可以请求无效该应用对应的认证凭据。
206、认证服务器将该用户的认证凭据设置为无效。
认证服务器将认证凭据#1无效。
应理解，在该实施例中，在场景1中，认证服务器将认证凭据#1无效。这里，可以理解为永久无效。在场景2、场景3或场景4中，认证服务器将认证凭据#1无效。这里，可以理解为暂时无效。当用户A恢复使用手机号码#1后，或认证服务器对用户的认证凭据锁定达到指定的时长后，认证凭据#1可以继续使用，并继续用于认证用户A的身份。
认证服务器将认证凭据设置为无效的操作可以为，认证服务器将对应的认证凭据删除，或者为对应的认证凭据设置无效标记，又或者认证服务器将用户信息记录删除，又或者认证服务器将用户信息记录下应用对应的记录删除。
应理解，步骤205和步骤206是认证服务器将第一认证凭据发送给应用服务器(步骤204)之后的可选步骤。即，对于认证服务器而言，将第一认证凭据发送给应用服务器之后，可以获取清除用户认证凭据指令，将自身保存的该第一认证凭据无效。可选地，认证服务器后续还可以生成与用户标识关联的第二认证凭据，或，生成与用户标识和该应用服务器的应用标识关联的第二认证凭据，并将该第二认证凭据保存在认证服务器上。
若认证服务器将第一认证凭据发送给应用服务器之后，一直保存该第一认证凭据，那么，步骤204之后转至步骤207。
207、应用服务器接收认证服务器发送的认证凭据，并保存。
208、应用服务器向认证服务器发送认证凭据和需要发送给用户的信息。
具体地说，在步骤208，当应用服务器需要向用户发送信息时，应用服务器将需要发送给用户的信息(即，第一信息)和该用户的认证凭据信息发送给认证服务器，以便于认证服务器确定认证凭据数据库中是否存在与该应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据(即，第一认证凭据)匹配的认证凭据。也或者说，应用服务器需要向用户发送信息时，先向认证服务器发送认证请求消息，以请求认证服务器对该用户的认证凭据进行匹配认证。例如，应用服务器需要向用户发送信息的场景可能为，应用服务器向手机号码发送包含验证码的短消息，或者向邮箱账号发送验证邮件，或者通过语音留言将验证码通知给用户，以对用户进行身份认证。应用服务器向认证服务器发送验证消息，消息中携带步骤207中获取的该用户的认证凭据和应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息，例如，包含验证码的短消息，验证邮件等。
需要说明的是，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器生成该第一认证凭据，并保存该第一认证凭据。之后，认证服务器会在应用服务器请求获取该用户标识的认证凭据时，将该第一认证凭据发送给应用服务器保存。之后，在应用服务器需要向用户发送信息时，需要向认证服务器提供该用户的认证凭据。容易想到的是，应用服务器可以直接将保存的第一认证凭据发送给认证服务器。或者，应用服务器也可以向认证服务器发送第一认证凭据的变换形 式。
可选地，该认证请求消息中包含用户标识信息。
其中，该用户标识信息可以为用户标识或用户索引。
可选地，该认证请求消息中包含用户标识信息和该应用服务器的应用标识。
认证服务器根据用户标识信息，或者根据用户标识信息和该应用服务器的应用标识，可以在认证凭据数据库中查询到与该用户标识关联(或者说，对应)的认证凭据。
另外，应用服务器在向认证服务器发送第一认证凭据时，可以只发送第一认证凭据信息，而不发送用户标识，这种情况下，通讯网络可以通过第一认证凭据中包含的信息路由到服务该用户的认证服务器并定位到对应用户的认证凭据记录。
209、认证服务器对应用服务器发送的认证凭据和自身保存的认证凭据进行匹配认证。
具体地说，如果匹配认证不通过，认证服务器则认为该互联网应用的请求不合法，不会授权通讯网络将应用服务器发送的信息转发给用户。
根据步骤208，应用服务器向认证服务器发送的可能是第一认证凭据，或者，也可以为第一认证凭据的变换形式。在应用服务器发送的认证凭据为第一认证凭据时，认证服务器可以直接进行匹配认证。在应用服务器发送的认证凭据为第一认证凭据的变换形式时，认证服务器基于相同的变换规则，与自身保存的认证凭据进行匹配认证。
根据步骤208，如果应用服务器同时发送了第一认证凭据和用户标识信息(可以为用户标识或用户索引)，认证服务器首先根据用户标识或用户索引，在认证凭据数据库中查找该用户标识对应的用户记录。如果不存在该用户标识，说明，该用户标识可能已经被注销或处于冻结状态，因此，认证服务器可以直接确定不存在与第一认证凭据匹配的认证凭据。如果存在该用户标识，认证服务器确定该用户标识在当前时刻对应的认证凭据是否与第一认证凭据匹配。
进一步地，认证服务器可以在匹配认证不通过的情况下，向应用服务器发送认证失败信息，以指示该应用服务器该用户的认证凭据的匹配认证不通过。
应用服务器获知该用户的认证凭据匹配认证不通过后，可以采取暂时将该注册用户账号锁定、在应用客户端向当前操作用户显示警告信息等措施，避免可能出现的用户仿冒带来的损害。
需要说明的是，应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息，可以和认证凭据一起发送给认证服务器。在认证服务器对该用户的认证凭据匹配认证通过之后，认证服务器通过通讯网络将信息转发给用户。或者，应用服务器也可以先向认证服务器发送该用户的认证凭据，在认证服务器对该用户的认证凭据的匹配认证通过后，向该应用服务器发送认证通过信息。该应用服务器接收到认证通过信息后，再将需要发送给用户的信息发送给通讯网络中负责与终端设备传输信息的网元，由该传输信息的网元将该信息发送给用户。本发明实施例对此不作限定。
如果匹配认证通过，转至步骤210。
210、如果匹配认证通过，认证服务器授权通讯网络向用户发送信息。
211、用户向互联网应用提供验证码，完成身份验证。
具体地说，用户通过终端设备(或者说，通讯终端)接收到认证服务器发送的信息，可以向应用服务器提供验证码完成应用层的验证。例如，用户将获得的短消息中的验证码填写在应用验证页面中，并提交给应用服务器。或者，用户向应用服务器指定的电话号码回复一条短消息，该短消息中携带应用服务器通过语音呼叫指定的验证码。或者用户点击确认收到的验证邮件中的链接等，从而完成对身份的验证。本发明实施例对认证方式不作任何限定，用户只要按照应用服务器的指示完成身份认证即可。
可见，在本发明实施例中，应用服务器向用户发送验证码等信息时，需要向认证服务器提供正确的认证凭据，由于一个认证凭据只对一个用户有效，在用户停机销号后即失效，因此新用户得到同样的手机号码后，无法收到原来用户注册的应用的验证码等信息，不能仿冒身份登录原来用户的账号对原来用户造成损害。
本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，认证服务器通过为每一个用户分配并保存一个认证凭据，并将该认证凭据发送给应用服务器。当应用服务器需要向用户发送信息时，需要向认证服务器提供该用户的认证凭据，认证服务器只有在确定认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息 发送给该用户，否则认证服务器不会授权通讯网络发送该信息给用户。从而，能够避免由于信息的错误发送造成的安全隐患，提高了信息传输的安全性。
本发明实施例不仅可以保证验证码等信息不会发送到新用户的手机终端上，也可以保证与原来用户相关的任何信息都不会错误的发送到新用户的手机终端上。从另一个角度，也可以保证新用户得到该手机号码后，不会接收到原用户订阅的一些信息(例如，广告信息等)，从而可以起到保护新用户免受无关信息骚扰的效果。
可以理解的是，在实际应用中，认证服务器、应用服务器和终端设备之间进行通讯的网络的结构可能是更加复杂和多样的，即，存在多种不同类型的网络。另外，网络内部完成一个流程的处理是非常复杂的，涉及很多网元。因此，根据本发明实施例的传输信息的方法在不同网络中的实现细节不作详细说明。需要说明的是，不管采用什么样的网络结构或类型，只要能够实现本发明实施例中描述的认证服务器的用于实施本发明实施例的传输信息的方法的功能，都应认为落入本发明实施例的保护范围。
图4示出了根据本发明另一实施例的传输信息的方法的示意性交互图。如图4所示，在该实施例中，将上述实施例中描述的认证服务器的部分功能分别配置在不同的网元上，这些不同的网元可以为：通讯网元和认证网关。这些网元应用于移动通讯网络。
为了便于理解和说明首先对各个网元的功能进行说明。
通讯网元：用于将消息发送给用户,或者,将用户通过终端设备发送的消息发送给应用服务器。
需要说明的是，在实际应用中，通讯网元又可以包括多个子网元，此处不再展开。
认证服务器：用于生成用户的认证凭据，并提供给外部应用。还用于管理用户的认证凭据的生命周期。例如，在用户停机销号时将用户现有认证凭据视作失效。又例如，验证应用服务器提供的认证凭据是否与当前的用户的认证凭据匹配，并返回匹配结果等。
认证网关：用于提供与外部多个应用的统一接口。
该认证网关可以与用户认证服务器合设，为合一节点，也可以与用户认证服务器分设，为分离节点。
如图4所示，在该实施例中，根据本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，主 要包括步骤301至步骤312。
301、用户A向应用服务器登记用户标识(例如，手机号码#1)。
具体地说，用户A(用户的一例)在终端设备(例如，手机、笔记本电脑等)上，通过应用客户端向应用服务器登记用户标识。并且，假设用户A的手机号码为手机号码#1。
此处的用户标识可参见前文步骤201中对用户标识所作的说明。
在该实施例中，以用户标识为手机号码为例，对本发明实施例的传输信息的方法进行说明。
302、应用服务器验证用户A是否真实持有手机号码#1。
在本发明实施例中，应用服务器获得用户A的手机号码(即，手机号码#1)以后，可以对用户A是否真实持有该手机号码#1进行验证。
例如，应用服务器可以向该手机号码#1发送一条短消息，该短消息中携带验证码，要求用户A收到短消息后在应用页面上填写正确的验证码。或者，要求用户A按照收到的短消息中的提示，编辑一条指定格式的短消息发送给指定的号码，等等。如果验证码匹配，应用服务器则认为用户A确实正在持有其提供的手机号码#1。
需要说明是，用户A在初次登记手机号码时，应用服务器还没有获得用户的A的认证凭据，因此，在步骤302中，应用服务器通过通讯网元发送给用户的短消息为普通的短消息，即，不携带用户A的认证凭据，也不需要认证服务器进行匹配认证，直接转发给用户A即可。具体可以通过现有技术实现，此处不再赘述。
303、应用服务器请求获取用户A的认证凭据。
具体地说，应用服务器确认用户A持有手机号码#1后，应用服务器向移动通讯网络中的认证网关发送请求消息，该请求消息中携带了用户A的手机号码，即手机号码#1。应理解，该请求消息用于向移动通讯网络请求获取用户A的认证凭据。
认证网关将该请求消息发送到移动通讯网络内部服务用户A的认证服务器。
需要说明的是，网络内部的认证服务器可能有多个，认证网关可以根据手机号码#1的前缀路由到对应的认证服务器。认证服务器可以与通信网络中用户归属签约服务器(Home Subscriber Server，HSS)，或用户归属位置寄存 器(Home Location Register，HLR)合设，也可以独立部署，或者与其它网络实体合设等。本发明实施例对此不作任何限定。
另外，根据手机号码#1的前缀路由到对应的认证服务器的过程，可以通过现有技术实现，此处不作详细说明。
304、认证服务器返回用户A的认证凭据。
步骤304的具体实现，可以参见前文所述的步骤204的说明。为了简洁，此处不作赘述。
认证服务器还可以返回路由信息给应用服务器，具体为，在认证服务器生成认证凭据时，该认证凭据中包含了到认证服务器的路由信息，或者认证服务器通过单独的信元，将路由信息返回给应用服务器。
进一步地，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器还可以定期的刷新认证凭据以提升安全性。
例如，认证服务器在向应用服务器返回用户的认证凭据时，可以指定认证凭据的有效时段。例如，XXXX年X月X日0时0分之前有效，在该失效时间到达前的一段时间内(例如7天内)，要求应用服务器携带原有的认证凭据，请求刷新认证凭据。在刷新周期内，新老认证凭据同时有效，超过失效时间后，原有认证凭据失效，只有新认证凭据有效。又或者，认证服务器也可以单独发送刷新指示信息，以提示应用服务器对用户的认证凭据进行刷新。
305、应用服务器向认证网关发送验证消息，该验证消息中携带验证码和用户A的认证凭据。
具体地说，应用服务器在有用户(为了便于说明，记作用户B)通过执行登录、“找回密码”或交易支付等动作时，应用服务器决定对用户B进行手机验证码认证。应用服务器向认证网关发送验证消息，该验证消息中携带验证码和用户A的认证凭据。根据不同的实现方案，应用服务器可以同时在该验证消息中携带手机号码#1，也可以不携带。
应理解，此处的用户B可能是用户A，也可能不是用户A。当用户B不是用户A时，现有技术中，由于应用服务器和移动通讯网络不会对用户的身份进行验证，而是应用服务器直接将包含验证码的短消息通过通讯网元发送给用户B。因此，用户B可能会通过应用验证页面填写短消息中的验证码的方式进入用户A的应用账号。从而，可能会导致用户A的隐私泄露，或 者金钱损失，甚至更严重的后果。
可以理解的是，在该实施例中，用户A可能是使用手机号码#1的原用户，用户A办理停机销号后，用户B在移动通讯网络签约开户，得到手机号码#1，成为手机号码#1的新用户。或者，用户A可能将手机丢失，被用户B捡到等，都可能出现上述用户B登录用户A注册的应用账号的可能。
而在本发明实施例中，应用服务器在向用户发送信息(包括包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证设备(或者移动通讯网络中负责认证凭据匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证设备确定存在与该应用服务器发送的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证设备才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器发送给用户的信息转发给用户。否则认证设备不会授权将信息转发给用户。因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。
306、认证网关向认证服务器发送认证请求，该认证请求中携带用户A的认证凭据。
如果步骤305中的验证消息中同时携带了手机号码和认证凭据，认证网关根据手机号码可以路由到合适的认证服务器。如果验证短消息中只携带了认证凭据，则在认证服务器在生成认证凭据时，该认证凭据中包含了到认证服务器的路由信息。例如，用认证凭据中的某些比特指示到认证服务器的路由，从而认证网关可以根据认证凭据中包含的路由信息，路由到与手机号码对应的认证服务器。如果验证消息中携带了路由信息和认证凭据，该路由信息为独立的信元，认证网关可以根据该路由信息，路由到与手机号码对应的认证服务器。
307、认证服务器对认证凭据进行匹配认证。
具体地说，认证服务器是将应用服务器发送的用户A的认证凭据与自身保存的手机号码#1对应的用户的认证凭据进行匹配认证。
在本发明实施例中，匹配的方式可以根据不同的安全方案有所不同。以下，举例说明。
方式1
认证服务器对应用服务器提供的认证凭据与自身存储的认证凭据进行比较，如果相同，则认为匹配。
方式2
认证服务器对应用服务器提供的认证凭据进行某种特定的算法转换后 再进行比较。
如果结果符合预期(不限于相同)，则认为匹配。例如，认证凭据中某些比特包含了之前生成该认证凭据时的时间戳信息，如果该时间戳信息早于当前用户的开户时间，说明该认证凭据不是为当前持有手机号码的用户分配的，即，认证结果为不匹配，或者说，认证不通过。
方式3
应用服务器在步骤304获得用户认证凭据后，在步骤305并不直接传递该认证凭据，而是传递该认证凭据的某种变换形式。
例如，将该用户认证凭据的全部或部分信息(例如，去除认证凭据中用于对认证服务器进行路由寻址的信息后的部分)与当天的日期时间信息组合在一起进行哈希变换。其中，采用的哈希变换算法可以是安全哈希算法(Secure Hash Algorithm,SHA)，消息摘要算法5(Message Digest Algorithm5,MD5)，高级加密标准(Advanced Encryption Standard，AES)，哈希消息认证码(Hash Message Authentication Code，HMAC)等单向散列算法。应用服务器可以将变换后的认证信息通过认证网关发送给认证服务器，认证服务器按照相同的算法规则，对应用服务器提供的认证信息与自身保存的认证信息进行比较。
可以理解的是，通过方式3，可以避免直接在网元接口上传递用户认证凭据，能够防止重放攻击，进一步提高安全性。
或者，在本发明实施例中，对于认证凭据的匹配还可以采用上述方式的变换或其他的方式，都应落入本发明实施例的保护范围。
在步骤307中，如果认证服务器对应用服务器提供的认证凭据的判定结果为不匹配，则转至步骤308。如果判定结果为匹配，可选地，则转至步骤309。
308、如果认证凭据不匹配(或者说，不相符)，认证服务器返回认证失败信息。
具体地，认证服务器通过认证网关将认证失败信息发送给应用服务器。
在认证不通过的情况下，认证服务器和应用服务器根据自身策略进行相应处理。
例如，认证服务器记录认证失败的事件日志，包含请求认证的应用名称或代号，请求认证的手机号码、认证凭据信息、发生的时间等。应用服务器 判断当前尝试操作账户的用户可能不是等级手机号码时的原用户，存在仿冒风险，可以锁定用户账户。改用其它不依赖手机号码的认证方法要求用户进行认证。进一步地，可以向当前存在仿冒行为的用户发送提示或警告信息等。
309、如果认证凭据匹配(或者说，相符)，认证服务器向认证网关返回认证通过信息。
需要说明的是，在步骤305中，如果应用服务器将验证码和用户A的认证凭据，同时携带在验证消息发送给了认证网关。在步骤309之后，转至步骤312。在步骤305中，如果应用服务器只发送了用户A的认证凭据，而没有发送验证码，那么在步骤309之后，还包括步骤310和步骤311。之后，转至步骤312。
310、认证网关将认证服务器返回的认证通过信息发送给应用服务器。
311、应用服务器向认证网关发送验证码。
具体地说，应用服务器接收到认证网关发送的认证通过信息之后，向认证网关发送验证码。
312、认证网关向终端设备发送包含验证码的短消息。
具体地说，认证网关通过通讯网元向用户A发送包含验证码的短消息。
需要说明的是，在本发明实施例中，认证网关也可以只用于处理认证消息，发送包含验证码的短消息可以由应用服务器通过原有的点对点发送消息的方式，直接发送给通讯网元，而不经过认证网关。
313、终端设备向应用服务器提供验证码信息，完成身份认证。
用户A收到应用服务器发送的包含验证码的短消息，向应用服务器提供验证码信息完成应用层的验证。
例如，用户A将获得的短消息中的验证码信息填写在应用验证页面中并提交给应用服务器。又例如，用户A向应用服务器指定的电话号码回复一条短消息，该短消息中携带指定的验证码信息等等，此处不再赘述。
进一步地，在用户初次登记手机号码时，或者需要更换用户的认证凭据时，除了短信、邮件认证以外，还可能要求用户提供增强的认证方式。
例如要求用户输入手机号码在运营商处保留的操作密码，或者密保问题的答案等等。
进一步地，如果用户终端的手机号码被锁定时，该手机号码对应的认证凭据匹配认证也暂时锁定，等到用户终端的手机号码解锁后再恢复认证凭据 匹配认证的功能。
需要说明的是，本发明实施例中的通讯系统可以为移动通信网络、电子邮件系统，或者即时通讯系统等为用户分配身份标识信息，并提供语音、短消息、邮件通讯或即时通讯等服务的系统。
以上结合图4，对本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，在包括多个网元，即，认证服务器、通讯网元和认证网关的通讯系统，与应用服务器之间的交互过程进行了详细说明。
在上述图3和图4所描述的实施例中，应用一方是合作方，即认为应用本身有识别用户身份仿冒，保护其用户免受损失的诉求和驱动力，这符合当前互联网大多数业务的现实情况。
进一步地，不仅互联网应用和用户有防止身份仿冒的诉求，用户本身也有保护自身隐私的诉求。手机号码作为用户的重要隐私信息，用户不一定希望提供给互联网应用保存。例如，当前发送垃圾短信，卖家骚扰买家的事件也层出不穷。本发明实施例中描述的用户的认证凭据，也可以进一步增强，使得应用一方不需要获得用户的手机号码也可以向用户发送验证码信息，以保护用户的隐私。
以下结合图5，对根据本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，在用户的手机号码不提供给应用服务器保存的情况下的应用进行详细说明。
图5示出了根据本发明又一实施例的传输信息的方法的示意性交互图。如图5所示，在该实施例中，除了上述实施例中的通讯网元、认证服务器、认证网关和应用服务器，还包括认证凭据生成门户(即，第三方设备的一例)。
需要说明的是，在本发明实施例中，该认证凭据生成门户作为一个第三方设备，可以由移动通讯网络的运行商，或者其它可信的第三方合作伙伴运营。
还需要说明的是，该认证凭据生成门户与应用服务器是部署隔离的。
如图5所示，在该实施例中，本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，主要包括步骤401至步骤412。
401、应用服务器请求用户提供带隐私保护的手机号码绑定。
在本发明实施例中，带隐私保护的号码绑定，是指应用承诺不收集和保存用户的手机号码。
用户确认进行绑定动作。
402、应用服务器将绑定页面重定向到认证凭据生成门户。
403、认证凭据生成门户请求用户A提供手机号码。
如，在应用服务器重定向的绑定页面中，用户A输入手机号码，认证凭据生成门户获得手机号码。在步骤403中，由于认证凭据生成门户与应用服务器是隔离部署的，因此应用服务器不会获得用户A的手机号码。
404、认证凭据生成门户验证该用户A是否真实持有该手机号码。
例如，认证凭据生成门户向该手机号码发送包含验证码的短消息，并要求用户在返回给认证凭据生成门户的回复消息中携带验证码信息。在认证凭据生成门户确认该用户真实持有该手机号码时，转至步骤405。
可以理解的是，用户是否真实持有手机号码是指，步骤403中提供手机号码的用户是否真的持有该手机号码。以免，该手机号码为其它用户持有，造成错误注册。
405、认证凭据生成门户请求获取用户A的认证凭据。
具体地，认证凭据生成门户通过认证网关，向认证服务器发送获取请求，该获取请求用于向认证服务器请求获取用户A的认证凭据。
其中，该获取请求中携带用户A的手机号码(为了便于描述，以下记作手机号码#1)，以便于认证网关根据手机号码#1，将获取请求路由到用户A对应的认证服务器。
406、认证服务器向认证凭据生成门户返回用户A的认证凭据。
407、认证凭据生成门户将用户A的认证凭据返回给应用服务器。
由此可见，在该实施例中，应用服务器只获取到用户A的认证凭据，但并没有得到用户A的手机号码。
需要说明的是，在该实施例中，在应用服务器获取不到用户的用户标识的情况下，应用服务器可以将认证服务器返回的认证凭据与该用户在应用上创建的账号关联。或者，应用服务器也可以在用户在该应用上申请账号时，为用户分配一个标识，在获取到认证服务器返回的该用户的认证凭据后，将该认证凭据与该标识关联。
通过这样的方式，在应用服务器上保存有多个认证凭据的情况下，应用服务器可以将该多个认证凭据与用户一一对应(或者说，匹配)起来。
408、应用服务器向认证网关发送验证消息，该验证消息中携带用户A的认证凭据和验证码。
409、认证网关通过用户A的认证凭据中的到认证服务器的路由信息获知对应的认证服务器。或者，步骤406和步骤407中，认证服务器也可以通过单独的信元携带路由信息，本步骤中还可以携带该路由信息，认证网关通过该路由信息获知对应的认证服务器。认证网关向认证服务器发送认证请求，该认证请求中携带用户A的认证凭据。
在认证服务器对用户A的认证凭据匹配通过时，转至步骤410。
410、认证服务器向认证网关返回用户A的手机号码。
在该实施例中，因为匹配认证时，认证服务器没有获得用户的手机号码。所以，认证服务器通过认证凭据中包含的用户索引匹配查找对应的用户信息记录。
需要说明的是，认证服务器为用户分配认证凭据，可以通过现有技术实现。例如，参考全球唯一标识符(GUID，Globally Unique Identifier)的分配方式，在认证凭据中可以包含用户索引，认证服务器还可以在认证凭据上附加其它所需的信息。
具体实现时，认证服务器也可以通过单独的信元携带用户索引，并通过步骤406和步骤407返回给应用服务器。应用服务器在步骤409和步骤410将该用户索引发送给认证服务器后，认证服务器通过该用户索引匹配查找对应的用户信息记录。
411、认证网关向用户发送短消息，该短消息中携带验证码。
具体地，认证网关将步骤408中接收到的应用服务器发送的验证码发送给通讯网元，通讯网元将该验证码携带在短消息中发送至用户A的终端设备上。
412、终端设备向应用服务器提供验证码，完成认证。
具体地说，用户A将获得短消息中的验证码填写在应用验证页面中并提交给应用服务器；或者用户向应用服务器指定的电话号码回复一条短消息，携带指定的验证码等等，完成对于用户A的身份的认证。
在该实施例中，应用服务器只能获得与用户关联的认证凭据，而不能获得用户的手机号码。由于通过用户认证凭据只能通过与认证设备之间的管控通道联系到用户(例如，消息、语音电话或电子邮件等方式)，不能直接用于给用户拨打电话或者发送点对点的消息，通信网络运营商可以通过加强对应用服务器的身份验证，以及从应用服务器发送到认证网关的内容进行管 控，避免非授权的消息发送到用户的手机上。其它人员，例如卖家，快递人员等，即使获得用户的身份认证信息，但由于没有接入该管控通道的权限，也不能直接联系用户，从而能够更好地保护用户的隐私。
图6示出了根据本发明又一实施例的认证凭据数据库的示意图。如图6所示，认证服务器上存有认证凭据数据库，该认证凭据数据库中保存有多个认证凭据列表，每个认证凭据列表与一个用户对应。每个认证凭据列表用户记录对应的用户的至少一个认证凭据与至少一个应用标识之间的对应关系。
需要说明的是，认证凭据与应用标识之间的对应关系可以是一一对应的，即，对于一个用户而言，一个认证凭据对应一个应用标识。另外，也可以是，多个应用标识对应一个认证凭据。图6中仅以认证凭据与应用标识之间一一对应为例，示出了本发明实施例中认证凭据数据库的一例。
可以理解的是，一个用户通常会注册到多个互联网应用中。在前文的各个实施例的描述中，没有限制在不同应用服务器向移动通讯网络中的认证服务器请求用户认证凭据时，认证服务器对于不同的应用服务器，返回相同的凭据还是不同的凭据。
在该实施例中，认证服务器对不同的应用服务器，返回不同的认证凭据，从而起到加强移动通讯网络运营商对不同应用的权限管理能力的作用。
具体地说，当应用服务器通过认证凭据生成门户，和/或认证网关向认证服务器请求获得用户的认证凭据时，认证服务器首先根据用户标识(例如：手机号码)在认证凭据数据库中进行查找。查找到用户记录后，还要根据应用的标识(例如，支付宝、微信等)定位到对应当前请求的应用的认证凭据，并返回给应用服务器。
如果该用户的认证凭据列表中还不包含当前请求应用的认证凭据，认证服务器为该用户的当前请求应用生成认证凭据保存在该认证凭据数据库中。
将本实施例应用到上述实施例中，上述实施例中，在认证服务器收到获取用户的认证凭据的请求消息之前，还包括认证凭据生成门户和/或认证网关对应用服务器的身份进行验证以获取并验证应用的标识。
在本发明实施例中，应用的标识可以根据应用服务器的IP地址，端口号在认证凭据生成门户和/或认证网关上进行映射。
或者，也可以由认证服务器为应用服务器提供一个登录界面，通过让应用服务器执行一个专门的登录过程认证自己的身份和标识。
再或者，应用的标识还可以由应用服务器在请求消息中，显式地携带自身的应用标识，以通知给认证凭据生成门户和/或认证网关。
同样地，当应用服务器通过认证凭据生成门户，和/或认证网关向认证服务器请求身份认证时，如果支持对不同应用提供不同的认证凭据，则认证服务器首先根据用户标识在认证凭据数据库中查找以定位到用户记录。之后，还要根据应用的标识定位到对应当前请求的应用的认证凭据并与请求消息中的认证凭据进行匹配认证。
在认证服务器收到请求身份认证消息之前，还包括认证凭据生成门户，和/或认证网关对应用服务器的身份进行验证以获取并验证应用的标识。
本实施例中，认证服务器可以根据用户的请求无效或者刷新认证凭据。例如，当某应用存在推送消息等行为时，用户可以请求无效或者刷新该应用对应的认证凭据。以避免该应用对自身的骚扰。
在该本实施例中，移动通讯网络中的认证服务器具备区分应用粒度的认证凭据管理能力，从而可以对不同应用区分不同的权利进行控制。例如，不同应用向用户发送信息的类型不同，许可时间段不同。又或者，如果应用存在对用户进行消息骚扰或其它不规范的情况，移动通讯网络运营商可以根据法律规范或者与用户以及应用的协议规定，暂时或者永久关闭特定应用向用户发送消息的通道。这样可以有效的提升用户的体验，保护用户的隐私，也提升了通讯网络运营商对网络的控制能力。
另外，本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，不仅可以用于当前移动通讯网络，还可以用于通过电子邮件系统、即时通讯系统进行身份认证的场景。例如，电子邮件系统运营商为用户分配认证凭据并提供给应用服务器，在电子邮件账户注销时，该认证凭据同时失效。新的用户如果申请获得该电子邮件账户，由于之前应用服务器上保存的认证凭据已经失效，新用户不能通过该电子邮件账户获取到应用服务器发送的验证码信息，不能进入之前的用户注册的应用账户，或进行交易付款等关键交易，从而保护了之前用户受到身份仿冒的威胁。
应理解，在上述多个实施例中，不同实施例之间的一些执行步骤是相同或类似的。例如，一些步骤的执行在于执行该步骤的网元不同，或执行该步骤的网元的个数不同等。因此，对于该多个实施例的相同或类似步骤所作的说明可以相互参考。并且，不同实施例的各步骤之间的执行顺序应以其功能 和内在逻辑而确定，上述各个实施例中仅给出一种可能的实现方式，对于各个步骤在不同实施例中执行时执行顺序的变化，或者容易想到的执行各步骤的变换形式等，都应认为属于本发明实施例的保护范围。
因此，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器通过为每一个用户分配并保存一个认证凭据，并将该认证凭据发送给应用服务器。应用服务器在向用户发送信息(例如，包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证服务器(或者网络中负责对认证凭据进行匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证服务器才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息发送给用户，否则认证服务器不会授权通讯网络发送信息给用户。能够避免由于信息的错误发送而导致的安全隐患。因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。
上文中结合图2至图6，详细描述了根据本发明实施例的传输信息的方法，下面将结合图7至图9，描述根据本发明实施例的传输信息的装置。
图7示出了根据本发明一实施例的传输信息的装置500的示意性框图。如图7所示，该装置500包括：

根据本发明实施例的传输信息的装置500中的各单元和上述其它操作或功能，分别为了实现本发明各实施例中由认证服务器执行的相应流程。为了简洁，此处不再赘述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器通过为每一个用户分配并保存一个认证凭据，并将该认证凭据发送给应用服务器。应用服务器在向用户发送信息(例如，包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证服务器(或者，网络中负责对认证凭据进行匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证服务器才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息发送给该 用户，否则就不会授权通讯网络发送该信息给用户。从而能够避免由于信息的错误发送造成的安全隐患，因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。
图8示出了根据本发明一实施例的传输信息的装置500的示意性框图。如图8所示，该装置600包括：
接收单元610，用于接收认证服务器发送的第一认证凭据；

因此，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器通过为每一个用户分配并保存一个认证凭据，并将该认证凭据发送给应用服务器。应用服务器在向用户发送信息(例如，包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证服务器(或者，网络中负责对认证凭据进行匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证服务器才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息发送给该用户，否则就不会授权通讯网络发送该信息给用户。从而能够避免由于信息的错误发送造成的安全隐患，因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。
图9示出了根据本发明一实施例的传输信息的装置700的示意性框图。如图9所示，该装置700包括：
接收单元710，用于接收应用服务器发送的用户登记认证凭据重定向请求；

发送单元730，用于将该用户标识发送给认证服务器；
接收单元710，还用于接收该认证服务器发送的第一认证凭据；
该发送单元730，还用于将该第一认证凭据发送给应用服务器。
根据本发明实施例的传输信息的装置700中的各单元和上述其它操作或功能，分别为了实现本发明各实施例中由第三方设备(或，认证凭据生成门 户)执行的相应流程。为了简洁，此处不再赘述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，通过第三方设备获取用户标识，并将该用户标识发送给认证服务器，以获取与该应用标识对应的认证凭据，从而将该认账凭据发送给应用服务器，使得应用服务器只能获得与用户的认证凭据，而不能获得用户的用户标识(例如，手机号码)。因而应用服务器不能直接给用户拨打电话或者发送点对点的消息，使得移动通讯网络运营商可以通过加强对应用服务器的身份验证，以及从应用服务器发送到认证网关的内容进行管控，避免非授权的消息发送到用户的手机上，从而能够更好地保护用户的隐私。
图10示出了根据本发明一实施例的传输信息的装置800的示意性框图。如图10所示，该装置800包括：
接收单元810，用于接收应用服务器发送的认证请求消息，该认证请求消息中包含第一认证凭据，该认证请求消息是该应用服务器需要向用户传输信息时发送给该装置的；
处理单元820，用于确定认证服务器；

根据本发明实施例的传输信息的装置800中的各单元和上述其它操作或功能，分别为了实现本发明各实施例中由认证网关执行的相应流程。为了简洁，此处不再赘述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器通过为每一个用户分配并保存一个认证凭据，并将该认证凭据发送给应用服务器。应用服务器在向用户发送信息(例如，包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证服务器(或者，网络中负责对认证凭据进行匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证服务器才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息发送给该用户，否则就不会授权通讯网络发送该信息给用户。能够避免由于信息的错误发送造成的安全隐患，因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。

在实现过程中，上述方法的各步骤可以通过处理器1230中的硬件的集成逻辑电路或者软件形式的指令完成。结合本发明实施例所公开的传输信息的方法的步骤可以直接体现为硬件处理器执行完成，或者用处理器中的硬件及软件模块组合执行完成。软件模块可以位于随机存储器，闪存、只读存储器，可编程只读存储器或者电可擦写可编程存储器、寄存器等本领域成熟的存储介质中。该存储介质位于存储器1240，处理器1230读取存储器1240中的信息，结合其硬件完成上述方法的步骤。为避免重复，这里不再详细描述。
根据本发明实施例的传输信息的设备1200中的各单元和上述其它操作或功能,分别为了执行各实施例中由第三方设备执行的相应流程。为了简洁，此处不再赘述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，通过第三方设备获取用户标识，并将该用户标识发送给认证服务器，以获取与该应用标识对应的认证凭据，从而将该认账凭据发送给应用服务器，使得应用服务器只能获得与用户的认证凭据，而不能获得用户的用户标识(例如，手机号码)。因而应用服务器不能直接给用户拨打电话或者发送点对点的消息，使得移动通讯网络运营商可以通过加强对应用服务器的身份验证，以及从应用服务器发送到认证网关的内容进行管控，避免非授权的消息发送到用户的手机上，从而能够更好地保护用户的隐私。
图14示出了根据本发明一实施例的传输信息的设备1300的示意性结构图。如图13所示，该信号发送端设备1300包括：接收器1310、发送器1320、处理器1330、存储器1340和总线系统1350。其中，接收器1310、发送器 1320、处理器1330和存储器1340通过总线系统1350相连，该存储器1340用于存储指令，该处理器1330用于执行该存储器1340存储的指令，以控制接收器1310接收信号，并控制发送器1320发送信号，其中，
处理器1330,用于接收应用服务器发送的认证请求消息，该认证请求消息中包含第一认证凭据,该认证请求消息是该应用服务器需要向用户传输信息时发送给该设备的；
处理器1330，用于确定认证服务器；
发送器1320,用于将该认证请求消息发送给该认证服务器。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，该处理器1300可以是中央处理单元(central processing unit，简称为“CPU”)，该处理器1300还可以是其他通用处理器、数字信号处理器(DSP)、专用集成电路(ASIC)、现成可编程门阵列(FPGA)或者其他可编程逻辑器件、分立门或者晶体管逻辑器件、分立硬件组件等。通用处理器可以是微处理器或者该处理器也可以是任何常规的处理器等。
该存储器1340可以包括只读存储器和随机存取存储器，并向处理器1330提供指令和数据。存储器1340的一部分还可以包括非易失性随机存取存储器。例如，存储器1340还可以存储设备类型的信息。
该总线系统1350除包括数据总线之外，还可以包括电源总线、控制总线和状态信号总线等。但是为了清楚说明起见，在图中将各种总线都标为总线系统1350。
在实现过程中，上述方法的各步骤可以通过处理器1330中的硬件的集成逻辑电路或者软件形式的指令完成。结合本发明实施例所公开的传输信息的方法的步骤可以直接体现为硬件处理器执行完成，或者用处理器中的硬件及软件模块组合执行完成。软件模块可以位于随机存储器，闪存、只读存储器，可编程只读存储器或者电可擦写可编程存储器、寄存器等本领域成熟的存储介质中。该存储介质位于存储器1340，处理器1330读取存储器1340中的信息，结合其硬件完成上述方法的步骤。为避免重复，这里不再详细描述。
根据本发明实施例的传输信息的设备1300中的各单元和上述其它操作或功能,分别为了执行各实施例中由认证网关执行的相应流程。为了简洁，此处不再赘述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，认证服务器通过为每一个用户分配并保存一 个认证凭据，并将该认证凭据发送给应用服务器。应用服务器在向用户发送信息(例如，包含验证码的短消息)时，需要向认证服务器(或者，网络中负责对认证凭据进行匹配的网元)发送该用户的认证凭据，只有在认证凭据数据库中存在与应用服务器提供的该用户的认证凭据匹配的认证凭据时，认证服务器才会授权通讯网络将应用服务器需要发送给用户的信息发送给该用户，否则就不会授权通讯网络发送该信息给用户。能够避免由于信息的错误发送造成的安全隐患，因而，可以提高应用服务器向用户传输信息时的安全性。
应理解，在本发明的各种实施例中，上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后，各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定，而不应对本发明实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，术语“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系。例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。另外，本文中字符“/”，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
