Abstract
The present invention enables the selection of network routes based on a combination of traditional route table entries, identity policy information, and trust level information determined dynamically for each network session. This enables a network operator to apply different policies to network entities presenting differing identity credentials. It also allows network operators to block access to networks and network resources when identity credentials are not provided or are unauthorized.
