Abstract
Systems and techniques are described to facilitate using secure tokens for stateless software defined networking. An initial configuration may be created for deploying a network device at a deployment site. A cryptographically secure certificate may be created that includes the initial configuration for deploying the network device at the deployment site. The cryptographically secure certificate may be stored in a secure token that can be inserted into a secure token reader that is located at the deployment site and communicatively coupled to the device at the deployment site. The network device may then be configured at the deployment site by using the secure token.
