WiFi opportunistic key caching over non-WiFi access

摘要

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to WiFi opportunistic key caching over non-WiFi access. In some embodiments, data may be received from a user device over a non-WiFi network connection. The data may include authentication credentials for a WiFi network connection and a location associated with the user device. One or more access points may be identified based at least in part on the location associated with the user device. Information associated with the user device and the authentication credentials may be transmitted to the identified one or more access points. Authentication of the user device with at least one of the identified one or more access points may be facilitated.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a user device, data via a non-WiFi network connection, wherein the data comprises authentication credentials for a WiFi network connection, a location associated with the user device, and a signal strength associated with user device; identifying a plurality of wireless endpoints based at least in part on the location associated with the user device and the signal strength, wherein the plurality of wireless endpoints comprise one or more access points, one or more WiFi controllers, or one or more authentication servers; determining information associated with the user device using the data received from the user device; determining a proximity of the user device to at least one of the plurality of wireless endpoints; and transmitting, to at least one of the plurality of wireless endpoints, based on the determined proximity, the determined information associated with the user device and the authentication credentials for authenticating the user device.
