Abstract:
A hotspot provides an open wireless network and a secure wireless network. The open wireless network has no network-level encryption and allows open association therewith. The secure wireless network employs network-level encryption and requires authentication of a received access credential from a client device before allowing association therewith. A system for authorizing the client device for secured access at the hotspot includes an access controller configured to establish an encrypted connection between the client device and a login portal of the hotspot over the open wireless network, and to store a user-specific access credential transmitted via the encrypted connection as a valid access credential in a credential database. The credential database is accessed by wireless access points of the hotspot to authenticate the received access credential from the client device in response to a request from the client device to associate with the secure wireless network.

Claim (Index 31):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform steps of:\n providing an open wireless network having no network-level encryption and allowing open association therewith by a client device at a hotspot; establishing an encrypted connection between the client device and a login portal of the hotspot over the open wireless network; requiring a user of the client device to perform a predetermined sign-up process at the login portal via the encrypted connection; adding a user-specific access credential as a valid access credential in a credential database, wherein the credential database stores a plurality of valid access credentials acceptable for gaining secure wireless access at the hotspot; and transmitting instructions from the login portal to the client device via the encrypted connection, the instructions instructing the user of the client device to switch the client device to a service set identifier (SSID) of a secure wireless network at the hotspot and to authenticate with the secure wireless network utilizing the user-specific access credential, wherein the instructions are displayed to the user by the client device and include both the service set identifier (SSID) of the secure wireless network and the user-specific access credential that is acceptable for associating with that service set identifier (SSID).
