Abstract

Claims (32)

1 . A network connection method applicable to a router, wherein the method comprises following steps:

the router receiving a first dynamic password from a server;

the router receiving a second dynamic password from a mobile terminal and comparing the second dynamic password with the first dynamic password;

when the comparison is matched, establishing a connection, and sending a first result signal to the mobile terminal; and

the router clearing connection information generated by the connection after the connection is established;

wherein the second dynamic password is same as the first dynamic password, and the connection information generated by the connection comprises a model and an identification code of the mobile terminal;

wherein after receiving the first dynamic password from the server, the router performs following steps:

generating a first master key according to the first dynamic password;

generating a first random number and sending the first random number to the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal is capable of generating a second random number;

receiving a third random number and a first temporary key from the mobile terminal and generating a fourth random number;

generating a second temporary key according to the third random number, the fourth random number, and the first master key;

comparing the second temporary key with the first temporary key; and

when the comparison is matched, establishing the connection, and sending a second result signal to the mobile terminal;

wherein the first random number and the second random number are respectively identical to the fourth random number and the third random number, the first random number and the fourth random number are random numbers generated by the router, the second random number and the third random number are random numbers generated by the mobile terminal, and all the random numbers are only used once in a process for calculating and generating the first temporary key and the second temporary key;

wherein the second dynamic password is the same as the first dynamic password, both randomly assigned by the server, and used to identity verification between the router and the mobile terminal; the second temporary key is generated by applying a pseudo-random function to the first master key, identification addresses of the router and the mobile terminal, and exchanged one-time random numbers from the router and the mobile terminal; the first master key is derived using a hash function based on the first dynamic password and a service set identifier (SSID) of the router; upon receiving a connection request from the mobile terminal, triggered by the mobile terminal recognizing an image identifier associated with the router, the router transmits a first random number to the mobile terminal and receives the third random number and the first temporary key in response; the router then generates the second temporary key based on exchanged random numbers and a previously generated master key; if the second temporary key matches the first temporary key received from the mobile terminal, the router transmits the second temporary key back to the mobile terminal for confirmation; upon receiving an authentication confirmation message from the mobile terminal, the router establishes the connection, thereby completing a dual-handshake process; after the connection is successfully established, the router actively clears all credentials and identification data generated during a session including passwords, the random numbers, addresses, and keys, to prevent the mobile terminal from automatically reconnecting when re-entering a WiFi area.

2 . The network connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the first dynamic password is a digital password or a combination of numbers and letters.

3 . A router, comprising a memory and a processor interconnected with each other, wherein the memory stores program data loadable and executable by the processor to carry out following steps:

the router receiving a first dynamic password from a server;

the router receiving a second dynamic password from a mobile terminal and comparing the second dynamic password with the first dynamic password, wherein the second dynamic password is assigned to the mobile terminal by the server;

when the comparison is matched, establishing a connection, and sending a first result signal to the mobile terminal; and

the router clearing connection information generated by the connection after the connection is established;

wherein the second dynamic password is same as the first dynamic password, and the connection information generated by the connection comprises a model and an identification code of the mobile terminal;

wherein after receiving the first dynamic password from the server, the router performs following steps:

generating a first master key according to the first dynamic password;

generating a first random number and sending the first random number to the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal is capable of generating a second random number;

receiving a third random number and a first temporary key from the mobile terminal and generating a fourth random number;

generating a second temporary key according to the third random number, the fourth random number, and the first master key;

comparing the second temporary key with the first temporary key; and

when the comparison is matched, establishing the connection, and sending a second result signal to the mobile terminal;

wherein the first random number and the second random number are respectively identical to the fourth random number and the third random number, the first random number and the fourth random number are random numbers generated by the router, the second random number and the third random number are random numbers generated by the mobile terminal, and all the random numbers are only used once in a process for calculating and generating the first temporary key and the second temporary key;

wherein the second dynamic password is the same as the first dynamic password, both randomly assigned by the server, and used to identity verification between the router and the mobile terminal; the second temporary key is generated by applying a pseudo-random function to the first master key, identification addresses of the router and the mobile terminal, and exchanged one-time random numbers from the router and the mobile terminal; the first master key is derived using a hash function based on the first dynamic password and a service set identifier (SSID) of the router; upon receiving a connection request from the mobile terminal, triggered by the mobile terminal recognizing an image identifier associated with the router, the router transmits a first random number to the mobile terminal and receives the third random number and the first temporary key in response; the router then generates the second temporary key based on exchanged random numbers and a previously generated master key; if the second temporary key matches the first temporary key received from the mobile terminal, the router transmits the second temporary key back to the mobile terminal for confirmation; upon receiving an authentication confirmation message from the mobile terminal, the router establishes the connection, thereby completing a dual-handshake process; after the connection is successfully established, the router actively clears all credentials and identification data generated during a session including passwords, the random numbers, addresses, and keys, to prevent the mobile terminal from automatically reconnecting when re-entering a WiFi area.

4 . The router according to claim 3 , wherein the first dynamic password is a digital password or a combination of numbers and letters.
