Network device selective synchronization

Abstract

Techniques for selectively synchronizing network devices to authenticate wireless device to access a network using a key. A system utilizing such techniques can include a unique pre-shared key assignment system and a network device selective synchronization system. A method utilizing such techniques can include unique pre-shared key assignment and selective synchronization management.

1 . A method comprising:
 assigning a unique pre-shared key to a wireless device;   determining network personas of a user of the wireless device;   mapping the user to a network group according the network personas of the user;   maintaining synchronization policies for selectively synchronizing a plurality of network devices to authenticate wireless devices to access a network;   determining a network device of the plurality of network devices to send key data associated with the unique pre-shared key to according to the synchronization policies and the network group as part of selective synchronization of the plurality of network devices;   sending the key data to the network device for storage in local storage of the network device for purposes of locally authenticating the wireless device to access the network.
