System and Method for Cloud Synchronizing Known Networks

摘要

A system and method synchronizes network data for a device registered to a user. The network data includes a list of a plurality of known wireless networks and authentication data associated with each of the known wireless networks. The method includes establishing a connection to a server of a synchronization network. The method includes transmitting identification data to the server. The identification data indicates the network data corresponding to the user to which the device is registered. The method includes receiving the list of known wireless networks from the server via the synchronization network. The method includes receiving a secure file including the authentication data from the server via the synchronization network.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a server of a synchronization network, network data from a first station registered to a user, the network data including:
a list of a plurality of known wireless networks, wherein the known wireless networks include IEEE 802.11 networks, and wherein the list includes a plurality of service set identifiers (SSIDs), each SSID corresponding to a respective one of the known wireless networks, andauthentication data associated with each of the known wireless networks, wherein the authentication data includes a plurality of passwords, each password corresponding to a respective one of the known wireless networks; determining, by the server, a second station registered to the user that is to be synchronized with the network data; transmitting, by the server, the list of known wireless networks to the second station via the synchronization network; generating a secured file including the authentication data; and transmitting, by the server, the secured file including the authentication data to the second station via the synchronization network.
