Abstract

Provided herein are systems, devices and methods for opening a connection in a gateway of a cloud based network for a client device connected via two different network links to the gateway and to a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) controller of a cloud based network. The SDP controller may receive a request from a client device to connect to a gateway of the cloud based network, generate a one-time SPA key for the client device (after authenticated), transmit the SPA key to the gateway, and transmit, via the first network link, the SPA key to the client device. The client device may transmit the SPA key to the gateway via the second network link and the gateway may be configured to open a connection for the client device via the second network link in case the SPA key is valid.
