An authentication system according to the present invention includes an
AAA server configured to be connected to the mobile network; a terminal
device configured to be connected to the mobile network and be
authenticated by the AAA server; and a PC configured to be connected to
the terminal device through a short distance radio communication network.
The PC transmits an identification data for identifying the PC itself to
the terminal device through the short distance radio communication
network. The terminal device authenticates the PC to access the mobile
network on the basis of the identification data, and transmits an
authentication data for accessing the mobile network to the AAA server.
The AAA server performs an authentication that the PC accesses to the
mobile network by using the authentication data. The authenticated PC
accesses the mobile network through the Internet.
