A system and method for providing ad hoc controlled user access to
wireless and wireline IP communication networks while maintaining privacy
for users and traceability for network providers. The method includes an
authentication interface accepting user credentials, and a validation
entity for credential verification and access authorization. The
credentials include a unique identifier and a system generated password.
The unique identifier is associated with a personal entity of the user
such as a cellular telephone. The password is transmitted to the user
through a SMS message to his cellular telephone. The user's Internet
session is monitored by the system and all records are indexed by his
cellular telephone number. The system and method therefore permit fast
and traceable access for guest users at networks where they are were not
previously known. Alternatively, users do not provide their unique
identifiers such as cellular telephone numbers which are instead already
stored in the system. A user provides a username and a one time password
is generated by the system and sent to the user by SMS. This enables the
system to validate the user's identity as well as the user to validate
the Internet resources' identity.
