AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM
Provided is a computer implemented method for performing mutual authentication between an online service server and a service user, including: (a) generating, by an authentication server, a server inspection OTP; (b) generating, by an OTP generator, a verification OTP having the same condition as the server inspection OTP and using the same generation key as an OTP generation key and a calculation condition different from a calculation condition is applied or a generation key different from the OTP generation key is used and the same calculation condition as the calculation condition used for generating the server inspection OTP is applied to generate a user OTP; and (c) generating, by the authentication server, a corresponding OTP having the same condition as the user OTP and comparing whether the generated corresponding OTP and the user OTP match each other to authenticate the service user.
1 . A computer implemented method for performing mutual authentication between an online service server and a service user comprising the steps of:
(a) generating, by an authentication server, a simple authentication number when a generation request of the simple authentication number including user account information of the service user accessing the online service server is received from the online service server;
(b) transmitting, by the authentication server, a generation condition used to generate the simple authentication number to a simple authenticator of a user corresponding to the user account information;
(c) generating, by the authentication server, a corresponding inspection value in response to an additional inspection value transferred from the simple authenticator after the simple authenticator generates an inspection authentication number corresponding to the simple authentication number using the generation condition of the simple authentication number, and upon completion of the inspection of the online service server through the simple authentication number and the inspection authentication number, comparing whether the additional inspection value matches the corresponding inspection value to authenticate a corresponding service user.
2 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the generation request of the simple authentication number is transmitted from the online service server to the authentication server when the user account information, which the service user inputs to an online site provided by the online service server, matches previously-registered account information of a corresponding user.
3 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein, in the step (b), the generation condition of the simple authentication number is transmitted from the authentication server to a mobile device of a user corresponding to the user account information or a simple authenticator installed in the mobile device through a push message or socket data communication.
4 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein, in the step (a), the authentication server further receives client access environment information related to an access terminal of the service user accessing the online service server from the online service server and uses the client access information when the simple authentication number is generated,
wherein, in the step (b), the authentication server transmits the generation condition of the simple authentication number including the client access environment information to the simple authenticator.
