Abstract
Systems and methods for providing instant secured network access for station devices. Multiple sets of SSIDs and passphrases construct different instant virtual access points (iVAPs) by utilizing a hidden virtual access point (VAP); where station devices can connect to the hidden VAP using different iVAP credentials, reducing the security risk as the unique access credentials allow the station devices to access the hidden VAP without other devices decrypting the data; where iVAPs can be created, deleted, and modified without changing the VAP configurations, without disconnections, and without system downtime; and where the iVAP solution includes using hidden SSIDs, sending decoy beacons and probe responses, an association process, and a 4-way handshake.
