An Internet access time control method using an authentication assertion
is provided. In the method, a user ID is registered in an asserting party
site in a single sign-on (SSO) environment by using a user terminal. The
asserting party site manages user IDs for providing an SSO service.
Control setup values are set in the asserting party site by using the
user terminal. Here, the control setup values include an Internet usage
duration and an Internet access-restricted time band for the user. A
service time of a relying party site accessed by the user terminal is
controlled according to an authentication assertion containing the
control setup values. Accordingly, the method makes it possible not only
to control Internet usage time, but also to prevent the child from
unreasonably using the Internet.
