Patent attributes
Methods, systems and apparatus for securing credential distribution are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by a cloud system, a notification from a credential management system that a wireless device is associated with an authenticated user of the credential management system, wherein the credential management system stores private network credentials of the authenticated user, and wherein the cloud system further receives an identifier of the wireless device with the notification, authenticating, by the cloud system, the wireless device, receiving, by the cloud system, a request from the wireless device for private network credentials, and distributing, by the cloud system, the private network credentials to the wireless device, thereby allowing the wireless device to obtain local network access with the private network credentials.
