  • Patent number: 11902789
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cloud controlled secure Bluetooth pairing for network device management. A method for a mobile device includes sending a Bluetooth pairing request to a network device that cannot connect to a network, wherein the network device responds to the Bluetooth pairing request by sending a challenge token; responsive to receiving the challenge token from the network device, sending the challenge token to a server, wherein the server responds to the challenge token by sending a response token, wherein the response token comprises a secure Bluetooth pairing key; and responsive to receiving the response token from the server, establishing a secure Bluetooth connection with the network device, comprising pairing with the network device using the secure pairing key.

  • Publication number: 20220400118
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to connecting an IoT device to a wireless network using Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP). An authentication server receives a DPP network access authorization request including a connector identifier from an Access Point (AP) in communication with the IoT device. The connector identifier is a hash of the public network access key of the IoT device. If the connector identifier is valid, the authentication server determines a configurable policy from a set of configurable policies that is applicable to the IoT device. The authentication server transmits network permissions defined in the configurable policy to the AR The IoT device is connected to the wireless network by the AP based on the network permissions.

  • Publication number: 20210345099
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, techniques and products for managing the dynamic assignment of media access control (MAC) addresses to wireless network devices, such as by identifying a dynamically assigned MAC address before, after, or during a wireless association process and communicating the dynamically assigned MAC address to a wireless network device. Also disclosed are systems, devices, techniques and products for preventing a denial of service attack on a wireless access point's association table, such as by requiring devices that associate with a wireless access point to respond to a query from the wireless access point shortly after association.
