Although it depends on the three entities,
it is independent

to
AAA architecture;

Supports the mutual authentication between station (ASUE)
|
and the
WLAN devices (AE);

The public-key certificate is an important part of the
|
|
|
construction
of WAPI system. The identity of ASUE
and AE
|
|
can be
uniquely identified by the
certificate;
|
|
| • |
During the authentication phase, both WLAN
device (AE)
|
|
|
and station
(ASUE) would send their certificates to the ASE.
|
|
The
ASE verify the legality of both certificates and would
|
|
|
send the
result of verification to the station and WLAN
|
|
devices.
