    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transmission of network access information for wireless devices. A method comprises transmitting an authorization request for the wireless device to a server upon receiving a presence announcement message from a wireless device. The method further comprises receiving an authorization response from the server including network access information and bootstrapping information of the wireless device. The method further comprise performing authentication with the wireless device based on the bootstrapping information. The method also comprises transmitting the network access information to the wireless device. The network access information includes a service set identifier (SSID) for a wireless local area network (WLAN) and credential information for the mobile device to access the WLAN. By automatically distributing network access information to the wireless device without requiring any user input, the efficiency of device provisioning and the security of WLAN can be improved.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to connecting an IoT device to a wireless network using Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP). An authentication server receives a DPP network access authorization request including a connector identifier from an Access Point (AP) in communication with the IoT device. The connector identifier is a hash of the public network access key of the IoT device. If the connector identifier is valid, the authentication server determines a configurable policy from a set of configurable policies that is applicable to the IoT device. The authentication server transmits network permissions defined in the configurable policy to the AR The IoT device is connected to the wireless network by the AP based on the network permissions.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing vendor agnostic captive portal authentication in a network that includes a plurality of network access devices are provided. For instance, one method includes receiving a redirect request for a communication between a first user-terminal and a first network access device, the redirect request including at least one of a vendor-specific item of information of the first network access device and an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first network access device. The method further includes comparing the at least one of the vendor-specific item of information of the first network access device and the IP address of the first network access device against each of a plurality of entries of a network access device database, and providing the first user-terminal access to a captive portal page in response to an appropriate match.
