Abstract
This application provides an unmanned aerial vehicle authentication method and an apparatus. The method includes: sending, by a communications device after determining that a type of a terminal is a UAV, authentication information of the terminal to an authentication server, so that the authentication server can perform authentication on the terminal based on the authentication information of the terminal, and therefore, the authentication server completes authentication on the terminal. In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle is allowed to fly only after authentication on the terminal succeeds. Therefore, flight security of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved.
Claims20
An unmanned aerial vehicle authentication method comprising:
- receiving, by a communications device, a registration request message from a terminal, wherein the registration request message comprises an identifier of the terminal, wherein the terminal is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- obtaining, by the communications device, location information of the terminal, wherein the location information includes at least one of a tracking area identity, a cell identifier (ID), a local IP address of the terminal or a user datagram protocol source port number of the terminal;
- sending, by the communications device, the identifier of the terminal and the location information of the terminal to an authentication server to request authentication;
- and
- receiving, by the communications device, authenticate response result from the authentication server.
An unmanned aerial vehicle authentication method comprising:
- in a session establishment procedure, obtaining, by a communications device, an identifier of a terminal, wherein the terminal is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- receiving, by the communications device, location information of the terminal from the access and mobility management function, wherein the location information includes at least one of a tracking area identity, a cell identifier (ID), a local IP address of the terminal or a user datagram protocol source port number of the terminal;
- sending, by the communications device, the identifier of the terminal and the location information of the terminal to an authentication server to request authentication;
- and
- receiving, by the communications device, authenticate response result from the authentication server.
A communications device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the communications device to:
- receive a registration request message from a terminal, wherein the registration request message comprises an identifier of the terminal, wherein the terminal is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- obtain location information of the terminal, wherein the location information includes at least one of a tracking area identity, a cell identifier (ID), a local IP address of the terminal or a user datagram protocol source port number of the terminal;
- send the identifier of the terminal and the location information of the terminal to an authentication server to request authentication;
- and
- receive authenticate response result from the authentication server.
