Abstract
Technologies for wireless device authentication are disclosed. A described technique includes intercepting, at a gateway device, data from an originating device, the data including a request for a uniform resource locator; determining whether the originating device is a wireless device; determining whether the originating device is in an authenticated state relative to the gateway device; if the originating device is a wireless device and is not in the authenticated state, sending data to the originating device, the data including a uniform resource locator redirection command to cause a browser executing on the originating device to launch an authentication application for authenticating the originating device relative to the gateway device by providing user-specific credential information to the gateway device; receiving the user-specific credential information from the originating device; and marking a network address of the originating device as being in the authenticated state based on a successful authentication.
