In some examples, as shown in
For example, the SIM card information sent by the second device may be partial information of the SIM card of the second device. In this case, the authentication response still needs to be generated by the second device.
Therefore, in the present example of the disclosure, after receiving the authentication request, the first device transfers the authentication request to the second device through the interactive channel. After receiving the authentication request, the second device calculates information required for the authentication response based on a part of the SIM card information of the second device that is not sent to the first device, and sends the generated authentication response to the first device through the interactive channel. In this way, the first device will obtain the authentication response generated by the second device by transferring the authentication request and receiving the authentication response.
