Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a system and methodology for secure coexistence between wireless fidelity and cellular networks. Methods include: determining whether a wireless fidelity (WiFi) device is sharing a spectrum of a network; and adjusting a parameter of a cellular device sharing the spectrum in response to determining that the WiFi device is sharing the spectrum, wherein the parameter includes a modulation and coding scheme or a transmission power of the cellular device. Methods further include controlling admission of users to a communications network, including: determining whether an incoming transmission is an authentication request from a new user; issuing a temporary authentication to the user to transmit a set of access requirements to the user; determining whether a reply from the user complies with the set of access requirements; and issuing a long-term authentication to the user in response to the reply complying with the set of access requirements.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide distributed authentication with network segmentation and dynamic authorization for networks. The system may include a device within a network of devices. An identifier is within the device and includes a cryptographic certificate. The device is configured to transmit the identifier to an authenticator as a security proof. The authenticator is configured to disable the device from performing at least one operation within the network before verifying an identity of the device via the identifier.

Abstract: A system for governing access to a network environment, including: at least one communication node communicatively coupled to a network infrastructure; a network assurance agent configured to monitor the at least one communication node, wherein the network assurance agent performs actions including: generating, in response to an access request for a network resource from the at least one communication node, an environmental model of the at least one communication node relative to the network environment, wherein the environmental model includes operational data of the at least one communication node or at least one other communication node in the network environment, calculating a risk score for the at least one communication node via a machine learning algorithm, based on the environmental model, and granting or denying the access request based on the risk score.
