Method, device, and system for authentication
First Claim
1. A method for authentication, wherein the method is applied in a system comprising one or more hosts and a Gateway Mobile Station (G-MS), the one or more hosts are connected with the G-MS and the method comprises:
- receiving, by the G-MS, an authentication trigger message from a host; and
sending, by the G-MS, the authentication trigger message to an authentication server through an Ethernet Convergence Sublayer (Eth-CS) to trigger authentication,wherein the step of sending, by the G-MS, the authentication trigger message to an authentication server through an Eth-CS comprises;
sending, by the G-MS, the authentication trigger message to a Data Path Function (DPF) through the Eth-CS; and
forwarding, by the DPF, the authentication trigger message to the authentication server when detecting that the message sent from the G-MS is an authentication trigger message or knowing in advance that the message transmitted on a service flow is an authentication trigger message.

Abstract
A method for authentication includes: a Gateway Mobile Station (G-MS) receives an authentication trigger message from a host, and sends the authentication trigger message to an authentication server through an Ethernet Convergence Sublayer (Eth-CS) to trigger authentication. A network system includes a G-MS, which is connected to a host and an authentication server in communicable mode. The G-MS is configured to: receive an authentication trigger message from the host and send the authentication trigger message to the authentication server through the Eth-CS. The authentication server is configured to: receive the authentication trigger message that the G-MS sends through the Eth-CS, and authenticate the host. A G-MS includes: a receiving unit, configured to receive an authentication trigger message from the host; and a sending unit, configured to send the authentication trigger message received by the receiving unit to the authentication server through the Eth-CS.

10. A network system, comprising a Gateway Mobile Station (G-MS) that is connected to a host and an authentication server in communicable mode wherein:
-
the G-MS is configured to receive an authentication trigger message from the host and send the authentication trigger message to the authentication server through an Ethernet Convergence Sublayer (Eth-CS); the authentication server is configured to receive the authentication trigger message that the G-MS sends through the Eth-CS and authenticate the host; and
the network system further comprisesa Data Path Function (DPF), configured to receive the authentication trigger message borne by the Eth-CS from the G-MS and forward the authentication trigger message to the authentication server when detecting that the message sent from the DPF is an authentication trigger message by using a data classification function or knowing in advance that the message transmitted on a service flow is an authentication trigger message. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A Data Path Function (DPF), comprising a receiver, a processor, and a transmitter, wherein:
-
the receiver is configured to receive a message borne by an Ethernet Convergence Sublayer (Eth-CS) from a Gateway Mobile Station (G-MS); the processor is configured to;
filter the message received by the receiver, and instruct the transmitter to send the authentication trigger message if the received message is an authentication trigger message or knowing in advance that the message transmitted on a service flow is an authentication trigger message; andthe transmitter is configured to send the authentication trigger message to an authentication server. - View Dependent Claims (15)
