Authorization of device access to network services

A first computing device comprising a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the first computing device, cause the first computing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting that said first computing device is operably connected to a network;
• determining if said first computing device can access a network service available on said network;
• sending a first authorization request in response to determining that said first computing device cannot access said network service is;
• accessing a device ID;
• receiving a first key from a second computing device associated with said network;
• using said first key to access the network service;
• replicating a security service on the first computing device, wherein the security service is operable to allow the first computing device to replicate the security service on a third computing device;
• when a security service on the second computing device and the security service on the first computing device are synchronized, communicating between the second computing device and the first computing device an identifier of a device that has been added to the network or removed from the network;
• and
• when one of the second computing device or the first computing device has been offline, receiving in the one of the second computing device or the first computing device the identifier of the device that has been added to the network.

A method for securing a network comprising a plurality of devices, comprising:

• receiving, from a first device, an authorization request to access at least one network service and a device identifier (ID);
• receiving, via an interface, an approval of the first device that is based on the device ID;
• in response to determining that the first device is not a disallowed device, generating, based on the device ID, a key for the first device, wherein said at least one network service may be accessed using said key;
• replicating a security service to the first device based on a determination that the first device can provide the security service and serve as an authorizing device for subsequent device approvals and validations;
• and
• synchronizing, to the first device and to other devices of the plurality of devices, security information indicative of access to said at least one network service.
