Abstract: Methods and systems for wireless switching are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a transceiver, a first activation signal from an activation device, responsive to receiving the first activation signal, transmitting, by the transceiver, network credentialing data to the activation device, receiving, by a first controller of a first device, a second activation signal from the activation device, the second activation signal comprising an activation request and the network credentialing data, responsive to receiving the second activation signal, transitioning the first device from a low power state to a high power state, and broadcasting, by the first device, a wireless network, wherein the first device comprises an access point for the wireless network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for controlling remote access to a computer system is disclosed. A method includes generating a secret value at a first computer system; sharing the secret value with associated computer systems; choosing a time length for validity; computing a derived key based on the secret value; and controlling remote access to the computer system based on the derived key and a unique identifier associated with the first computer system.

Abstract: A method for credential provisioning. Aspects include receiving, by a gateway device, a request for provisioning for a wireless device, wherein the gateway device operates a virtual local area network (VLAN), the VLAN comprising a first network partition and a second network partition. Activing the second network partition responsive to the request. The credentialing data associated with the wireless device is received through the second network partition. A connection to the wireless device is established through the second network partition based at least in part on the credential data and secured credentialing data associated with the first network partition is transmitted to the wireless device.
