Title: Multi-node authentication method and apparatus based on block chain
Inventor: SEUNG JU JEON
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2020-10-20
Abstract: The invention provides an authentication method based on blockchain technology in order to minimise the problems of typical authentication methods such as ID and password or public certificates. The process of determining whether a terminal requesting authentication at an authentication server is successfully authenticated is carried out by dividing and transmitting authentication comparison data from the authentication server to a plurality of nodes for comparison. The result of the comparison is received at the authentication server and it is determined whether the authentication of the terminal succeeds. The authentication module may generate a block including the authentication comparison data, where the block further includes a block key allocated to the block. A temporary blockchain channel and channel key for authentication of the terminal can be generated by the authentication server whereby the nodes also form part of the channel and perform authentication by comparing the authentication data and transmitting the comparison result to the authentication server.
