An apparatus includes a first communication interface communicable with a portion of a first network, a second communication interface communicable with a portion of a second network, and a memory. The apparatus is configured to be disposed between the portion of the first network and the portion of the second network. The portion of the first network and the portion of the second network are not otherwise coupled together. The apparatus is switchable between a first mode and a second mode. During the first mode, the apparatus is transparent to data transmission and is configured to store information representing the transmitted data. During the second mode, the apparatus is configured to block data transmission between the first network and the second network via the apparatus so as to form an enclaved network segment of the portion of the first network.

Methods and apparatus for autonomous network segmentation

A wireless data network process and system are provided based on a network with prior network-based authentication of a connected mobile node (MN) and with a network connection to a packet gateway node (PGN). The method and system establish and use an authentication mechanism between the MN and the PGN using the network connection. An encrypted channel is then set up between the MN and the PGN based on authentication established with the authentication mechanism. Configuration data is sent from the PGN to the MN using the encrypted channel. The configuration data may then be used by the MN for communication to and from the MN with the PGN via an access point. Any network connected to the PGN via any access point may then be used.
