Secure login method for establishing a wireless local area network connection, and wireless local area network system

A method for logging a wireless terminal in to a wireless local area network, said method being adapted to be implemented using a first wireless terminal that has already obtained a settings value for logging in to the wireless local area network and that has a first public key and a first secret key for decrypting content protected by the first public key, and a second wireless terminal that has yet to be logged in to the wireless local area network and that has a second public key and a second secret key for decrypting content protected by the second public key, comprising steps executed by the second wireless terminal, including:

• (A) obtaining the first public key from the first wireless terminal, and encrypting the second public key thereof into a first encrypted text using the first public key;
• (B) transmitting the first encrypted text to the first wireless terminal;
• (C) obtaining a second encrypted text which was generated by the first wireless terminal by encrypting the settings value using the second public key, and decrypting the second encrypted text using the second secret key so as to recover the settings value;
• and
• (D) connecting to the wireless local area network based on the settings value.

A secure login method for a wireless local area network, comprising the steps of:

• (A) providing a first wireless terminal, the first wireless terminal having a first public key and a first secret key for decrypting content protected by the first public key;
• (B) providing a second wireless terminal, the second wireless terminal having a second public key and a second secret key for decrypting content protected by the second public key;
• (C) enabling the first wireless terminal to obtain a settings value for logging in to the wireless local area network;
• (D) enabling the second wireless terminal to obtain the first public key from the first wireless terminal, and to encrypt the second public key into a first encrypted text using the first public key;
• (E) enabling the first wireless terminal to obtain the first encrypted text from the second wireless terminal, and to decrypt the first encrypted text using the first secret key so as to recover the second public key, and further enabling the first wireless terminal to encrypt the settings value into a second encrypted text using the second public key;
• (F) enabling the second wireless terminal to obtain the second encrypted text from the first wireless terminal, and to decrypt the second encrypted text using the second secret key so as to recover the settings value;
• and
• (G) enabling the second wireless terminal to connect to the wireless local area network based on the settings value.

A wireless local area network system, comprising:

• a first wireless terminal that has already been logged in to a wireless local area network and that has obtained a settings value of the wireless local area network;
• a second wireless terminal that has yet to be logged in to the wireless local area network and that has a public key and a secret key conforming to an asymmetric public key technique;
• and
• a transmission channel for transmission of data between said first wireless terminal and said second wireless terminal;
• wherein said second wireless terminal is operable so as to send the public key to said first wireless terminal through said transmission channel such that said first wireless terminal encrypts the settings value into an encrypted text using the public key, and sends the encrypted text to said second wireless terminal through said transmission channel;
• and
• wherein said second wireless terminal is further operable so as to decrypt the encrypted text using the secret key after receipt of the encrypted text from said first wireless terminal so as to recover the original settings value, and so as to connect to the wireless local area network based on the settings value.

A wireless local area network system, comprising:

• a first wireless terminal that has a first public key and a first secret key for decrypting content protected by the first public key and that has obtained a settings value for logging in to a wireless local area network;
• a second wireless terminal that has a second public key and a second secret key for decrypting content protected by the second public key;
• and
• a transmission channel for transmission of data between said first wireless terminal and said second wireless terminal;
• wherein said second wireless terminal obtains the first public key of said first wireless terminal through said transmission channel, and encrypts the second public key thereof into a first encrypted text using the first public key;
• wherein said first wireless terminal obtains the first encrypted text through said transmission channel, and decrypts the first encrypted text using the first secret key so as to recover the second public key, said first wireless terminal encrypting the settings value into a second encrypted text using the second public key;
• and
• wherein said second wireless terminal obtains the second encrypted text through said transmission channel, and decrypts the second encrypted text using the second secret key so as to recover the settings value, said second wireless terminal connecting to the wireless local area network based on the settings value.
