Abstract: Embodiments of the present application disclose a forwarding method, a forwarding apparatus, and a forwarder for authentication information in the Internet of Things. The method is applied to a constrained node and includes: receiving authentication information; determining whether the authentication information is received for the first time; and if the authentication information is received not for the first time, forwarding the authentication information; or if the authentication information is received for the first time, determining whether the authentication information is valid authentication information, and if the authentication information is not valid authentication information, discarding the authentication information, or if the authentication information is valid authentication information, verifying the valid authentication information, and forwarding the valid authentication information after the verification succeeds. The embodiments of the present application can reduce resources of the constrained node, and improve performance of the Internet of Things.
