Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include an encryption device that signs information exchanged between network devices to ensure the integrity of the information. The disclosed apparatus may also include a network device communicatively coupled to the encryption device, wherein the network device (1) obtains geo-location information that identifies the location of the network device, (2) directs the encryption device to sign the geo-location information to ensure the integrity of the geo-location information, (3) provides the signed geo-location information to a remote management system that manages the configuration of the network device based at least in part on the geo-location information, and (4) receives a configuration profile that modifies the configuration of the network device to account for the current location of the network device from the remote management system. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
