Abstract
An electronic device that selectively approves secure access of a second electronic device to a network is described. This electronic device receives an access request associated with a computer, where the access request includes passphrase parameters associated with a user, and the passphrase parameters include inputs to and an output of a cryptographic calculation. In response, the electronic device calculates one or more second outputs of the cryptographic calculation based at least in part on the inputs and one or more stored passphrases. Moreover, when there is a match between one of the one or more second outputs and the output, the electronic device accesses a policy associated with the user. Then, when one or more criteria associated with the policy are met, the electronic device selectively provides an access acceptance message to the computer, which includes information for establishing the secure access of the second electronic device.
