Abstract
A relay server, an authentication system, and a relay method. The relay server receives an authentication request including authentication parameters from a device, determines whether the authentication parameters included in the authentication request are sufficient for an authentication process performed at an authentication server, assigns one or more missing authentication parameters to the authentication request when the authentication parameters included in the authentication request are determined to be insufficient, and relays the authentication request to the authentication server.
Claims9
A relay server comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive an authentication request including authentication parameters from a device;
- determine whether the authentication parameters included in the authentication request are sufficient for an authentication process performed at an authentication server;
- assign one or more missing authentication parameters to the authentication request when the authentication parameters included in the authentication request are determined to be insufficient;
- and
- relay the authentication request to the authentication server.
An authentication system comprising:
- a device;
- and
- one or more servers;
- the device including circuitry configured to;
- transmit an authentication request including authentication parameters;
- and
- the one or more servers including circuitry configured to:
- receive the authentication request transmitted from the device;
- determine whether the authentication parameters required for an authentication process performed at an authentication server are included in the authentication parameters included in the authentication request;
- when the authentication parameters included in the authentication request is determined to be insufficient, assign one or more missing authentication parameters to the authentication request;
- and
- perform the authentication process based on the authentication request that includes the one or more missing authentication parameters assigned.
A relay method comprising:
- receiving an authentication request including authentication parameters from a device;
- determining whether authentication parameters required for an authentication process performed at an authentication server are included in the authentication parameters included in the received authentication request;
- when the authentication parameters included in the authentication request is determined to be insufficient, assigning one or more missing authentication parameters to the authentication request;
- and
- relaying the authentication request to the authentication server.
