Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for authenticating a user device that uses a wireless local area network. The user device may generate an encrypted authentication block and/or digitally signed block that includes a variety of information associated with the user device. The user device may attach the encrypted authentication block to periodic messages that are being monitored by the network. The messages may include an unencrypted portion in addition to the encrypted authentication block. A network server may extract the authentication block and decrypt the user device information to verify the identity or the digital signature of the user device. If the network server verifies the identity of the user device, the network server may continue to communicate and provide services with the user device. If the user device identity is not verified, the network server may cease communicating with or providing the user device.
