Abstract

Devices, systems, methods, and processes for enhancement of security measurement in Open Roaming network are described herein. Typically, in Open Roaming networks access nodes do not have the information whether a user device is a trusted device and accesses the network based on authentication by an Identity Provider (IdP). To address these issues, access nodes may be configured to generate a trust score for the user device based on their monitored activities on the network. The access node may share the trust score with the IdP. The IdP may receive one or more trust scores for the user device and generates a global trust score for the user device. The IdP further shares the global trust score with Identity Federation. During a re-association attempt, a new access node may grant or deny the network access to the user device based on the received global trust score of the user device.

Dependent claims

A device, comprising:

a processor;
a network interface controller configured to provide access to a network, wherein the network interface controller is communicatively coupled to an identity provider;
and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises a security management logic that is configured to:
receive an association request from a user device;
authenticate the user device with the identity provider in response to receiving the association request;
grant the user device an access to the network based on the authentication;
monitor one or more activities of the user device on the network;
generate a local trust score for the user device based on the monitored one or more activities;
and
transmit the local trust score to the identity provider.
