Abstract
Apparatus to enforce network policy based on identity authentication at a network endpoint device by offloading the authentication to a network attached authentication devices is disclosed. The authentication device may use Statistical Object Identification to perform the authentication. The present invention greatly reduces the resources needed by the network endpoint device to perform the authentication and eliminates the topological restrictions found in traditional network appliance based approaches.
