    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for mitigating denial-of-service attacks that can disrupt onboarding internet-of-things (IoT) devices onto a network and ensuring legitimate IoT devices are onboarded. Example implementations include receiving, at an access point (AP) from a device, a chirp signal comprising a hash of data including a first public key of an IoT device. Upon verification of the first public key, the AP generates a context based on a first public key received from the authenticator. The context comprises information for onboarding the IoT device without subsequent communications between the AP, configurator and the authenticator. The AP can use the context to create and transmit authentication authorization requests responsive to chirp signals. In some examples, a chirp table can be created by a configurator for tracking severing APs. The chirp table can be utilized in provisioning APs for future chirp signals as needed.

    Abstract: Examples provide new roaming test systems for network deployments that can be implemented remotely using a single physical AP. Examples achieve this elegant system by emulating a physical network deployment using a group of VAPs provisioned on the single physical AP (a VAP may refer to a logical or a virtual AP instance on a physical AP). Each VAP of CAP group may be configured to represent a physical AP of the physical network deployment (such a network deployment may be a prospective deployment or, an actual/set-up deployment). Examples can simulate/emulate a wireless client physically moving between physical APs of the network deployment by varying transmission power associated with each VAP as a function of time in a manner that mirrors how a wireless client would perceive transmission power varying for physical APs of the network deployment (represented by the VAPs) as the wireless client moves across the geographical site of the network deployment.
