Abstract

A method and device for local domain management are provided and include a local domain authority device. The local domain authority (LDA) device includes a location limited channel (LLC) interface for transmitting and receiving information of devices which are positioned within a limited location and a (LDA) module for authenticating a device which is selected as a member of a domain from the devices, transmitting device authentication information corresponding to the domain, to the authenticated device via the LLC interface, and registering the authenticated device as a member of the domain. The method and device provide an easy and secure means for domain management.
