Abstract

Systems and techniques for granting of network access to a new network device are described. Specifically, various techniques and systems are provided for connecting a new network device to a network and limiting access of the network device while authenticating the new network device. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a computer-implemented method. The method comprises receiving, at a gateway on a network, a communication including a request for a new network device to join the network; establishing a connection between the new network device and the gateway; generating a firewall configured to prevent the new network device from communicating with an additional device on the network; transmitting a query, wherein the query includes a request to determine whether the new network device is associated with the network; receiving a communication including a response to the query indicating that the new network device is associated with the network; removing the firewall so as to allow the new network device to communicate with the additional network device.
