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.
