Patent attributes
Methods, systems and apparatus for securing credential distribution are disclosed. One method includes receiving notification from a credential management system that a wireless device is associated with an authenticated user of the credential management system. The method further includes receiving the private network credentials of the authenticated user, storing the private network credentials and the identifier of the wireless device, receiving an authentication request from a router, returning a response to the authentication request to the router, wherein the response includes internet domains and connection bandwidths the wireless device is allowed to use, authenticating the wireless device, ensuring that the wireless device is authorized to receive 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.
