  • Publication number: 20200228972
    Abstract: A device determines information concerning the device and sends the information concerning the device to a first device. The device receives, from the first device, information concerning a user device, and receives, from a second device, a request concerning the user device accessing the device. The request includes information identifying the device and information identifying the user device. The device generates a request response by validating the user device for access to the device based on the request and sends, to the second device, the request response to facilitate a communication session to be established between the user device and the device. The device communicates with the user device via the communication session.

  • Publication number: 20200154272
    Abstract: A first wireless access device, associated with a wireless service provider, establishes a wireless local area network connection with a second wireless access device and receives a certificate including a unique identifier associated with the second wireless access device. The first wireless access device determines whether the second wireless access device is authorized to connect to the first wireless access device. For example, if the certificate is signed by a certificate authority associated with the wireless service provider and the unique identifier appears in a whitelist stored at the first wireless access device, the first wireless access device and the second wireless access device perform a mutual authentication procedure based on one or more ephemeral keys. The first wireless access device provides the second wireless access device with access to a wide area network based on successful completion of the mutual authentication procedure.
