Abstract:
According to one aspect disclosed herein, a provider device can receive, from a requester device, a network access request requesting, on behalf of the requester device, access to a Wi-Fi network associated with a network provider and provided, at least in part, by a network device. In response, the provider device can prompt the network provider to accept or deny the requester device access to the Wi-Fi network. The provider device can receive input indicating that the network provider accepts the network access request, and in response to the input, can create a network access package that includes a secure network access configuration to be utilized by the network device to establish, at least in part, a secure connection with the requester device to provide the requester device access to the Wi-Fi. The provider device can encrypt the network access package to create an encrypted network access package.
