Identity authentication method and apparatus, storage medium, program, and program product

Abstract

Disclosed is an identity authentication method. During the process of a requesting device authenticating the identity of an authentication access controller, confidentiality processing is performed on identity information that carries private and sensitive information, and identity authentication result information, thus private and sensitive information can be prevented from being exposed, such that an attacker cannot acquire private and sensitive information in a first authentication response message or an authentication result message even if they have intercepted same, thereby preventing an attack of an attacker on a legitimate authentication access controller, and ensuring the security of the authentication access controller, the requesting device and even a network. Further disclosed are an identity authentication apparatus, a storage medium, a program, and a program product.
