1. A method for providing secured network access, the method comprising:
storing information in memory of a hotspot controller, the stored information regarding a plurality of user devices each associated with a different pre-shared key unique to the respective user device; receiving a request initiated by a user device located within a range of a hotspot associated with the hotspot controller, the request sent via an open communication network associated with the hotspot and concerning access to a secured communication network associated with the hotspot, wherein the request initiated by the user device is redirected by an intermediary web portal server to the hotspot controller; and executing instructions stored in memory of the hotspot controller, wherein execution of the instructions by a hardware processor:
identifies a pre-shared key included in the request from the requesting user device,accesses the stored information to determine that the identified pre-shared key is associated with the requesting user device,authenticates the requesting user device based on the identified pre-shared key and the stored information, andgrants the requesting user device access to the secured communication network associated with the hotspot, wherein communications by the requesting user device in the secured communications network are encrypted based on the identified pre-shared key, and wherein communications by each other user device in the secured wireless network are encrypted based on the respective different pre-shared key unique to the other user device. |
