Abstract
A wireless network connection method is provided. The method includes: receiving, from a user terminal, an access request to a wireless access point, the access request including a media access control MAC address of the user terminal; sending, by the wireless access point, a key query request to an authentication server, the key query request including the MAC address; and receiving a key query result corresponding to the MAC address of the user terminal if the wireless access point is a trusted wireless access point. The method further includes obtaining a first authentication key corresponding to the MAC address of the user terminal according to the key query result; and negotiating with the user terminal, according to the first authentication key and a second authentication key, to establish an encrypted wireless network connection. The second authentication key is generated by the user terminal corresponding to the MAC address.
