SYSTEM, METHOD, AND DEVICE FOR MODIFYING NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY BASED ON PROVIDED PASSPHRASE

Abstract: a method for modifying functionality within a wireless network based on an applied authentication asset is disclosed that includes: defining a first set of network policies and a second set of network policies associated with a first authentication asset and a second authentication asset, respectively, for the wireless network, the second authentication asset being different from the first authentication asset; determining if the applied authentication asset used by a client device while engaging in an authentication process with an authentication server to secure a network connection with the wireless network matches one of the first authentication asset and the second authentication asset; and providing the network connection defined at least in part by the first set or the second set of network policies if the applied authentication asset is the first authentication asset and the second authentication asset, respectively to the client device through a mutable network device.
