Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes: presenting, in a user interface of an authoring tool, a plurality of levels of abstraction for a network having a plurality of devices; receiving information from a user regarding a subset of the plurality of devices to be provisioned with one or more security keys and an access control policy; automatically provisioning a key schedule for the subset of the plurality of devices in the network based on the user input and a topological context of the network; and automatically provisioning the access control policy for the subset of the plurality of devices in the network based on the user input and the topological context of the network.
