Abstract
An external authentication method authenticates access a home network from outside the home network using temporal credential information. The method of authentication for the home network includes requesting a transmission of temporal credential information from the home server for authenticating a user, and receiving the temporal credential information from the home server. The temporal credential information is information including, for example, a temporal authentication key. Accordingly, the home user can access the home network by performing a facilitated and safer authentication using the temporal authentication key from outside the home network.
