A process includes accessing a first message that is sent from an access point device. The first message includes data representing a second message that is sent by a client device. The second message is part of an exchange of messages between the client device and the access point device associated with authentication of the client device and a derivation of a first key used to encrypt and decrypt data communicated between the client device and the access point device. The second message includes a first message integrity check value. The process includes identifying, based on the second message, a pre-shared key corresponding to the client device. The identification of the pre-shared key includes determining a second message integrity check value based on a candidate pre-shared key of a plurality of candidate pre-shared keys; comparing the second message integrity check value with the first message integrity check value; and based on a result of the comparison, selecting the given candidate pre-shared key as the pre-shared key. The process includes determining a user role based on the pre-shared key. The process includes causing a third message to be sent to the access point device, where the third message includes data representing the pre-shared key and data representing the user role.

Associating pre-shared keys with client devices based on message integrity check values

A power backup method for use in a communication network monitoring device and a communication network monitoring device are provided. The method includes detecting an external power failure to a communication network monitoring device; switching to a backup power source internal to the communication network monitoring device upon detecting the external power failure: and while powered by the backup power source: generating an issue report recording the detected external power failure; communicating the issue report; shutting down operation of the communication network monitoring device after communicating the issue report.

Communication network performance monitoring and power backup

The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for providing tiered network access based on user actions. Specifically, a network device can identify a social action performed by a user, where the social action is performed while the user is logged into a social network application. Furthermore, the network device can select a network access level of a plurality of network access levels based on the social action. Accordingly, the network device grants a client device corresponding to the user access to a network based on the selected network access level. Note that the network access level is selected from the plurality of network access levels based on a plurality of social actions performed by the user.

Tiered network access based on user action

Example implementations relate to network authentication system extensions. For example, network authentication system extensions may be installed and executed using a system. The system may comprise a processing resource and a memory resource storing readable instructions. The instructions may cause the processing resource to initiate an extension system and initiate an application programming interface (API) to manage a plurality of installed extensions in the extension system, where the installed extensions operate on a network authentication system. The instructions may also cause the processing resource to define a particular instance of an installed extension among the plurality of installed extensions and execute installed extensions on the network authentication system.

Network authentication system extensions

A non-transitory computer readable medium includes computer readable program code including instructions for subsequent to a client device associating with an access point, receiving a request for a set of allowed shared devices, removing, by the access point and to obtain the set of allowed shared devices, a shared device from a set of shared devices based on a client device user of the client device failing to have a permission required by a device sharing policy of the shared device, and transmitting the set of allowed shared devices to the client device.

Method and system for controlling access to shared devices

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for controlling access to a network by a network device comprises returning a message prompting connectivity to a captive portal that is different from a HTTP Source Code redirect. The message is an HTML document such as a frameset.

Captive portal redirection using display layout information

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for controlling access to a network comprises a first operation of determining a type of electronic device to join the network. Then, unique device credentials are sent to the electronic device. These unique device credentials are used in authenticating the electronic device, and the format of the unique device credentials is based on the type of electronic device determined.

System and method for provisioning a unique device credentials

The invention relates to a method ofC-MR detection using an imaging medium comprising hyperpolarisedC-fructose and to an imaging medium containing hyperpolarisedC-fructose for use in said method.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for controlling access to a network comprises a first operation of determining one or more device characteristics of an electronic device seeking to join the network. Then, one or more unique device credentials are generated for the electronic device. The format of the unique device credentials are based on the one or more device characteristics of the electronic device.
