Abstract
Granting guest devices access to a network using out-of-band authorization including receiving, over an out-of-band network, a password for an in-band network from a guest device, wherein the password is generated on the guest device; storing the password received over the out-of-band network as an authorized password for the in-band network; receiving, from the guest device using an in-band protocol, a request to join the in-band network, wherein the request to join the in-band network comprises the password previously received from the guest device over the out-of-band network; and granting the guest device access to the in-band network based on a determination that the password received in the request to join the in-band network matches the password previously received from the guest device over the out-of-band network.
