Abstract
A device may receive and store first device information (first information), associated with a media client device (media client), and a first security key (a first key) from a content provider network (CPN); and may receive a provisioning request from the media client, including second device information (second information), based on the media client detecting an absence of a physical network connection to receive media content. The device may compare the first information and the second information and may request a second security key (a second key) based on the first information matching the second information. The device may receive the second key from the media client and may compare the first key and the second key. The device may enable the media client to establish a secure connection to the CPN, via a network associated with the device, based on the first key matching the second key.
