ABSTRACT:
A certification method realized by a certification server is applied to a networking system containing at least one local network connecting together terminals that constitute a same group to share a local session therebetween. When one terminal requests certification, the certification server sends an inter-group ID to the terminal while sending an authentication request to each of the other terminals of the same group. Then, the certification server determines to perform certification on the terminal based on results of authentication that is performed by each of the users of the other terminals in a face-to-face manner. Herein, the certification server can determine whether to certify the terminal based on secret information, which are disassembled and allocated to the terminals respectively. Thus, it is possible to reliably perform certification and authentication on terminals and users.
