Abstract
Exemplary systems and methods for providing a network credential in order to access a communication network are provided. In exemplary embodiments, a digital device attempting to access the communication network receives an authentication request from the network device. An authentication record based on the authentication request is retrieved from a credential server. The network credential is then provided within the authentication record and transmitted as an authentication response to the network device. Upon authentication by the network device, the digital device is provided access to the communication network.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- receiving an authentication request from a network device;
- identifying an authentication record based on the authentication request;
- providing a network credential from a credential server within the authentication response based on the authentication record;
- and
- transmitting an authentication response to a network device to obtain network access.
A system comprising:
- a network module configured to receive an authentication request from a network device;
- and
- a network access engine configured to identify an authentication record based on the authentication request and to transmit an authentication response to the network device.
A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor for performing a method, the method comprising:
- receiving an authentication request from a network device;
- identifying an authentication record based on the authentication request;
- and
- transmitting an authentication response to the network device.
