Abstract
Embodiments of the present application disclose a method for providing a terminal identifier to a terminal. During operation, a security server receives a registration information set from the terminal, in which the registration information set includes multiple pieces of equipment information from the terminal. The security server then generates a terminal identifier based on the multiple pieces of equipment information in the registration information set. The security server then returns the terminal identifier to the terminal.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for providing a terminal identifier, comprising:
- receiving, by a security server, a registration information set from a terminal that includes multiple pieces of terminal equipment, wherein the registration information set comprises a first set of equipment-related information associated with the multiple pieces of terminal equipment;
- generating a terminal identifier based on the first set of equipment-related information associated with the multiple pieces of terminal equipment and a key of the security server;
- receiving an authentication information set from the terminal, wherein the authentication information set comprises a second set of equipment-related information associated with the multiple pieces of terminal equipment;
- searching through a plurality of mapping relationships between information sets and terminal identifiers for one or more information sets that have similarity exceeding a predetermined threshold with the authentication information set, wherein a respective mapping relationship maps a respective information set to a terminal identifier;
- selecting, from a plurality of terminal identifiers, a terminal identifier mapped from an information set that has similarity exceeding the predetermined threshold with the authentication information set;
- and
- returning the selected terminal identifier to the terminal.
4 more elements
A device for providing a terminal identifier, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors storing instructions stored that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to perform a method for providing a terminal identifier, comprising:
- receiving, by a security server, a registration information set from a terminal that includes multiple pieces of terminal equipment, wherein the registration information set comprises a first set of equipment-related information associated with the multiple pieces of terminal equipment;
- generating a terminal identifier based on the first set of equipment-related information associated with the multiple pieces of terminal equipment and a key of the security server;
- receiving an authentication information set from the terminal, wherein the authentication information set comprises a second set of equipment-related information associated with the multiple pieces of terminal equipment;
- searching through a plurality of mapping relationships between information sets and terminal identifiers for one or more information sets that have similarity exceeding a predetermined threshold with the authentication information set, wherein a respective mapping relationship maps a respective information set to a terminal identifier;
- selecting, from a plurality of terminal identifiers, a terminal identifier mapped from an information set that has similarity exceeding the predetermined threshold with the authentication information set;
- and
- returning the selected terminal identifier to the terminal.
