    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure are directed to using a distributed ledger network to synchronize configuration changes across a network of servers that provide authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). In some implementations, a method includes: receiving, at a first server that provides AAA of users that access a network, a user request to update a configuration of a database of the first server, the database including authentication credentials for users that access the network, in response to receiving the user request, transmitting a transaction to the distributed ledger network for validation, the transaction comprising a request by the first server for each server of the distributed ledger network to update their respective database configuration in accordance with the user request; and after the transaction is validated by the distributed ledger network, the first server updating its database configuration in response to receiving the update comprising the validation of the transaction.

    Abstract: Some examples relate to applying a point-to-point security protocol to a network flow from a source application. In an example, in an example implementation, a network device can receive a network flow from a network client on a network. The network device can analyze a network packet of the network flow. Based on the analysis, the network device can identify a source application of the network flow. The network device can then refer to a lookup table in an integrated circuit (IC) on the network device that includes a point-to-point security protocol (PSP)-related policy for the source application. Based on the PSP policy in the lookup table, the network device can abstain from applying PSP-based encryption to the network flow from the source application.
