Abstract
A method is provided that includes receiving, at a first access point in a local area network, a request from a client device to access a wireless local area network. The method also includes creating authentication credentials for the client device based on an identification of the client device, and transmitting the authentication credentials for the client device to a second access point, wherein the first access point and the second access point share a secure block chain application. The method also includes allowing the client device to roam from the first access point to the second access point without requesting new authentication credentials. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method are also provided.
