Techniques to generate wireless local area access network fast transition key material based on authentication to a private wireless wide area access network

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

• determining via connection of a user equipment (UE) with a cellular access network of an enterprise that the UE is capable of connecting to a wireless local area access network of the enterprise utilizing a fast transition capability;
• performing an authentication for the UE via the cellular access network of the enterprise, wherein based on determining that the UE is capable of connecting to the wireless local area access network of the enterprise utilizing the fast transition capability, the authentication includes generating a root security key for the UE that is to enable the UE to connect to the wireless local area access network of the enterprise;
• upon successfully performing the authentication for the UE, providing to the UE via the cellular access network of the enterprise, an identifier of an authentication node involved in the authentication for the UE and a Service Set Identifier (SSID) that identifies the wireless local area access network of the enterprise;
• and
• upon determining that the UE is attempting to access the wireless local area access network of the enterprise, providing the root security key for the UE to the wireless local area access network to facilitate connection of the UE to the wireless local area access network.

A system comprising:

• at least one memory element for storing data;
• and
• at least one processor for executing instructions associated with the data, wherein executing the instructions causes the system to perform operations, comprising:
• determining via connection of a user equipment (UE) with a cellular access network of an enterprise that the UE is capable of connecting to a wireless local area access network of the enterprise utilizing a fast transition capability;
• performing an authentication for the UE via the cellular access network of the enterprise, wherein based on determining that the UE is capable of connecting to the wireless local area access network of the enterprise utilizing the fast transition capability, the authentication includes generating a root security key for the UE that is to enable the UE to connect to the wireless local area access network of the enterprise;
• upon successfully performing the authentication for the UE, providing to the UE via the cellular access network of the enterprise, an identifier of an authentication node involved in the authentication for the UE and a Service Set Identifier (SSID) that identifies the wireless local area access network of the enterprise;
• and
• upon determining that the UE is attempting to access the wireless local area access network of the enterprise, providing the root security key for the UE to the wireless local area access network to facilitate connection of the UE to the wireless local area access network.
