Abstract
A method, a system, and an apparatus for establishing communication are disclosed. The method is invented to establish communication between at least two communication parties including a first communication party and a second communication party. The method includes: sending a Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) request to the first communication party; receiving CGA parameters and a CGA signature returned by the first communication party; and authenticating the CGA parameters and the CGA signature, and establishing communication with the first communication party if the authentication succeeds. By using the method disclosed herein, in the process of establishing communication, the communication party authenticates the CGA parameters and CGA signature carried in the CGA extension header to determine authenticity of the CGA, thus preventing the IP address spoofing and preventing or mitigating the network security problems caused by the IP address spoofing.
