Abstract
A method of providing access to both a first and a second network (1, 2) comprises the steps of: a terminal (4) requesting (RQ1), via the first network (1), access to the first network while providing a first identification (ID1), the first network verifying the first identification and, if the verification is successful, issuing a second identification (ID2), the terminal (4) requesting (RQ2), via the first network (1), access to the second network (2) while providing the second identification (ID2), an authentication server (112) verifying the second identification and, if the verification is successful, issuing a third identification (ID3), the first network (1) transmitting the third identification (ID 3) to the terminal (4), and the terminal (4) using the third identification (ID3) to obtain access to the second network (2). The first identification (ID1) may be a SIM card identification, the second identification (ID2) may be a network address, while the third identification (ID3) may be constituted by a one-time password.
