Systems and methods for network authentication with a shared secret

A computing system can associate a customer device of a customer with a financial transaction record and the merchant, the financial transaction record indicative of a first purchase from the merchant by the customer, transmit a first query to the customer device prompting the customer to input information regarding an aspect of the first purchase, the first query including a description of a predetermined product parameter of the financial transaction record indicative of the first purchase from the merchant by the customer, authenticating, by the computing system, the first request by determining that the customer-input response to the first query corresponds to the established aspect of the first purchase in accordance with a predetermined accuracy threshold, and authorizing, by the computing system, connection of the customer device to the network provided by the merchant based at least in part on the first request being authenticated.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK PACKET TRANSLATION
20230006928 · 2023-01-05 ·

A method for modifying packet data of a packet in a network device, where the method includes receiving, at an ingress pipeline of the network device, the packet, performing a lookup, in a packet translation ruleset, to compare the packet data to rule criteria of a rule in the packet translation ruleset, making a first determination that at least a portion of the packet data matches the rule criteria, and based on the first determination, adding a packet translation tag to the packet, where the packet translation tag includes a rule action, copying the packet translation tag and a portion of the packet to obtain a copied packet, modifying the copied packet as described in the rule action to obtain a modified copied packet, and forwarding the modified copied packet to an egress pipeline.

Multi-tenant aware dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) mechanism for cloud networking
11546293 · 2023-01-03 · ·

An approach includes providing support multi-tenancy support on a DHCP protocol. The approach includes receiving a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) packet, inserting a tenant-specific option information within the DHCP packet, and transmitting the DHCP packet with the tenant-specific option information.

Network management system and method for access network

A premises networking device includes hardware components including speakers, microphone, infrared sensor, spectrum analyzer and wireless interfaces. A touch screen display presents a user interface that provides information about network conditions and configuration settings and a menu for setting and changing configuration settings. Different versions of the user interface are displayed based on whether a user is in proximity to the device. The user interface includes shapes representing user devices, the visual characteristics of which change based on the current network conditions. A health score, which is an evaluation of network performance based on measurements of aspects of the conditions of the network, is displayed in real time. A network management system includes a network management platform for storing network conditions and configuration information and pushing the information to premises networking devices. An application programming interface allows third-party applications to send instructions to and access data from various system processes.

NETWORK PROVISIONING

Systems and methods for provisioning and managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise determining location information of one or more access points and selecting a routing device based upon the location information. Communication can be established between the one or more access points and the select routing device to define a mobility group comprising the one or more access points.

Automatic establishment of network tunnels by an SDWAN controller based on group and role assignments of network devices
11546303 · 2023-01-03 · ·

Systems and methods are described for automatically building up a VPN to facilitate full-mesh communication within a private network of an organization based on group and role settings of participating network devices. According to one embodiment, configuration information, including a group setting, indicating a group with which the particular network device is associated, and a role setting, specifying a role of the particular network device within the group as either a hub or an edge, is received by an SDWAN controller associated with the private network for each network device of the private network. Based on the configuration information, IPsec configuration information is determined for establishment of VPN links between a hub of each group and one or more edges of the group. Full-mesh communication among the groups is enabled by causing the hubs to set up IPsec tunnels between each pair of hubs based on the IPsec configuration information.

Network awareness of device location

Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise detecting a triggering event at a node. Location information of the node can be transmitted to a routing device in response to the triggering event. Location information of the node can be transmitted to a management device. The management device can be configured to control an operation of one or more of the node and the routing device in response to the location information.

Customer control of their mobile assets
11540131 · 2022-12-27 · ·

Systems, methods, and devices for secure and configurable control of user equipment (UE) devices associated with enterprise accounts are disclosed herein. Each enterprise account is associated with a plurality of UE devices, which may access networked assets associated with the enterprise. In order to manage UE device access to enterprise assets and to other networks via an internet connection through a wireless telecommunications network, data associated with different enterprise accounts is virtually separated at the edge routers and maintained as separate data streams to distinct virtual environments associated with the enterprise accounts at one or more asset hosting servers. The virtual environments on the assets hosting servers further facilitate enterprise-specific control of mobile assets, such as enforcing security policies relating to access, connections, filtering, or encryption.
