The digest access authentication comprises sending a first request towards the server device for accessing a resource. The digest access authentication comprises receiving a first response from the server device. The first response comprises at least two challenges and indications of as many different digest algorithms, one digest algorithm is associated with each challenge. The digest access authentication comprises calculating a response to one of the challenges using the digest algorithm associated with said one of the challenges. The response to said one of the challenges is indicative of all of the different digest algorithms. The digest access authentication comprises sending a second request towards the server device for accessing the resource. The second request comprises the response to said one of the challenges. The digest access authentication comprises receiving a second response from the server device. The second response indicates successful digest access authentication with the server device.
