Abstract

A communication system in which a user device (10) generates authentication information (32) unique to the user device and provides a data packet (35) including this authentication information to an infrastructure part which is a gateway (14) or a host (16). The packet also contains a host identifier (36) or time dependent information (202). This is used at the gateway (14) or the host (16) to authenticate the packet.
