Abstract
A network authorization system includes an authorization interface, an authorizer, and a network interface. The authorization interface receives a network connection request to access an external network and generates a characteristic of a portable component. The authorizer compares the characteristic to a predetermined characteristic, generates an authorization token responsive to the characteristic matching the predetermined characteristic, uses the authorization token to authenticate the network connection request, and transmits a first notification to the authorization interface that the characteristic matched the predetermined characteristic. The network interface receives, from the authorizer, a second notification indicating that the authorizer authenticated the network connection request, and transmits the network connection request to the external network responsive to determining, based on the network connection request and the second notification, that the network connection request is authorized for external transmission.
