Abstract

A first message is received from a first communication device. The first message comprises an authentication token. For example, the authentication token may be a username/password. A determination is made if the first message also comprises a valid temporary password. The temporary password is used to prevent a Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack. In response to the first message comprising the valid temporary password, a determination is made if the authentication token is valid. In response to the authentication token being valid, the first message is responded to in a normal manner. If the first message does not contain the temporary password, the first message is handled based on a DOS message handling process.
