  • Patent number: 12640908
    Abstract: A network system includes a processor and memory encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause the system to receive an offered pre-shared key from a wireless device via a wireless network; access a mapped key-user pair comprising a unique pre-shared key and a user profile; and determine whether the offered pre-shared key corresponds to the unique pre-shared key. The instructions further permit the wireless device to connect to the wireless network according to a network policy associated with the mapped key-user pair in response to determining that the offered pre-shared key corresponds to the unique pre-shared key, or reject a network connection between the wireless device and the wireless network in response to determining that the offered pre-shared key does not correspond to the unique pre-shared key. The unique pre-shared key is used to encrypt and decrypt data transmitted between the wireless device and the wireless network.

  • Patent number: 12641423
    Abstract: A network system includes a processor and computer-readable memory. The computer-readable memory is encoded with instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the network system to register a unique pre-shared key, a user profile, and a network policy. The instructions further associate the unique pre-shared key with the user profile to form a key-user pair, associate the key-user pair with the network policy to form a mapped key-user pair, and provide the unique pre-shared key to a user to connect one or more devices to a wireless network. The unique pre-shared key is used to encrypt and decrypt data transmitted between a connected wireless device and the wireless network.
