Patent number: 10735405Abstract: Systems and methods for performing network-side Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to allow an end user device to access a network. A passphrase is assigned to an end user device for use in authenticating the end user device for a network using SAE. An identification of the end user device is determined during an authentication process. The passphrase assigned to the end user device is determined at a network side using the identification of the end user device. A shared secret is generated using the passphrase. Whether the end user device has generated the shared secret is determined by comparing network side and user side confirmation values. The end user device is authenticated for the network, if it is determined that the end user device has generated the shared secret.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.Inventor: Matthew Stuart Gast

Patent number: 10666653Abstract: A technique for network authentication interoperability involves initiating an authentication procedure on a first network, authenticating on a second network, and allowing access at the first network. The technique can include filtering access to a network, thereby restricting access to users with acceptable credentials. Offering a service that incorporates these techniques can enable incorporation of the techniques into an existing system with minimal impact to network configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Aerohive Networks, Inc.Inventors: Kenshin Sakura, Matthew Stuart Gast, Long Fu
