DISTRIBUTED CONFIGURATOR ENTITY

摘要

A system and method for distributed storage and/or management of network credentials in a wireless network. A first device of the wireless network receives a set of network credentials from a first configurator. The network credentials may be used to authorize one or more devices to access the wireless network. The first device further receives a user authentication credential from a second device, and authenticates the second device as a second configurator for the wireless network based at least in part on the user authentication credential. Upon authenticating the second device as the second configurator, the first device may then transmit the set of network credentials to the second configurator.
