Abstract:
Secure network access is provided by connecting a secure network provisioning device to a security authority, acquiring one or more network profiles, configuring one or more network interfaces of the secure network provisioning device with data corresponding to attributes of the acquired network profiles, switching the secure network provisioning device from an acquisition mode to a gateway mode, and connecting the secure network provisioning device to a client device. The secure network provisioning device includes a first set of network communication interfaces requiring configuration blocks to enable access to associated networks, a second set of network communication interfaces free from a requirement for configuration prior to network access, a communication interface gateway module configured to gate network traffic between network communication interfaces and a network profile acquisition module configured to acquire network profiles containing data required to configure the communication interfaces of the first set.
