Abstract
A method including receiving, by a first server from a second server, an encrypted authentication packet to enable the first server and the second server to conduct an authentication process, the encrypted authentication packet including a crypted code field indicating a type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and a crypted payload including one or more encrypted fields; and transmitting, by the first server to the second server, a response based at least in part on determining the type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and on decrypting the one or more encrypted fields. Various other aspects are contemplated.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first server from a second server, an encrypted authentication packet to enable the first server and the second server to conduct an authentication process, the encrypted authentication packet including a crypted code field indicating a type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and a crypted payload including one or more encrypted fields;
- and
- transmitting, by the first server to the second server, a response based at least in part on determining the type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and on decrypting the one or more encrypted fields.
A first server, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
- receive, from a second server, an encrypted authentication packet to enable the first server and the second server to conduct an authentication process, the encrypted authentication packet including a crypted code field indicating a type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and a crypted payload including one or more encrypted fields;
- and
- transmit, to the second server, a response based at least in part on determining the type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and on decrypting the one or more encrypted fields.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a first server, configure the processor to:
- receive, from a second server, an encrypted authentication packet to enable the first server and the second server to conduct an authentication process, the encrypted authentication packet including a crypted code field indicating a type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and a crypted payload including one or more encrypted fields;
- and
- transmit, to the second server, a response based at least in part on determining the type associated with the encrypted authentication packet and on decrypting the one or more encrypted fields.
