Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004109535A1] A method of, a system for (Fig. 1), communicating data (Fig. 1, 26) is provided. The method includes receiving an authentication request (Fig. 2, 32, 36) from a client device (Fig. 1, 14) at the access point wherein the access request includes identification credentials. The authentication request is then communicated to an authentication server and data associated with the authentication request is retrieved (Fig. 2, 36). A reply message is communicated to the access point that includes the data and that rejects the authentication request (Fig. 2, 56, 62, 66). The access point may service a wireless hotspot and, thus, a client device in the hotspot may identify the particular hotspot with which it is communicating (Fig. 6, 7).
