Address Verification Method and Corresponding Apparatus

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive, from a first node, first information comprising a first to-be-resolved address and a first resolving key index that are of the first node, wherein the first resolving key index indicates a first resolving key, wherein the first to-be-resolved address comprises verification information for verifying the first resolving key;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the transceiver and configured to determine an identity address of the first node based on the first resolving key index and the first to-be-resolved address, wherein the identity address uniquely identifies the first node, and wherein the first resolving key corresponds to a first identity address.

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to determine a first to-be-resolved address of a first node;
• and
• a transceiver coupled to the one or more processors and configured to send first information to a second node, wherein the first information comprises the first to-be-resolved address and a first resolving key index, wherein the first resolving key index indicates a first resolving key, wherein the first to-be-resolved address comprises verification information for verifying the first resolving key, wherein the first resolving key corresponds to an identity address of the first node, and wherein the identity address uniquely identifies the first node.
