A technique for improving authentication speed when a client roams from a first authentication domain to a second authentication domain involves coupling authenticators associated with the first and second authentication domains to an authentication server. A system according to the technique may include, for example, a first authenticator using an encryption key to ensure secure network communication, a second authenticator using the same encryption key to ensure secure network communication, and a server coupled to the first authenticator and the second authenticator wherein the server distributes, to the first authenticator and the second authenticator, information to extract the encryption key from messages that a client sends to the first authenticator and the second authenticator.

L'invention concerne une technique pour améliorer la vitesse d'optimisation lorsque le client est en itinérance entre un premier domaine d'authentification et un deuxième domaine d'authentification; elle consiste à coupler les authentificateurs associés aux premier et deuxième domaines d'authentification à un serveur d'authentification. Un système fonctionnant selon cette technique peut comprendre, par exemple, un premier authentificateur utilisant une clé de chiffrage pour assurer la communication réseau sécurisée, un deuxième authentificateur utilisant la même clé de chiffrage pour assurer la communication réseau sécurisée, et un serveur couplé au premier authentificateur et au deuxième authentificateur, le serveur distribuant au premier authentificateur et au deuxième authentificateur des informations destinées à l'extraction de la clé de chiffrage des messages que le client envoie au premier authentificateur et au deuxième authentificateur.
