Abstract
Systems and methods are described for authenticating devices. The systems and methods may include detecting, by a sensor on a wearable device, at least one cloud anchor that includes an identifier associated with a network and configured for a physical environment. In response to detecting that a location associated with the at least one cloud anchor is within a threshold distance of the wearable device and detecting that the wearable device has access to the at least one cloud anchor, triggering extraction of the identifier from the at least one cloud anchor. The systems and methods may also include joining the wearable device to the network based on a received authentication corresponding to the extracted identifier.
