Abstract
Techniques for dynamically establishing, pausing, and/or terminating secure communication sessions. The techniques may include, detecting an occurrence of an authentication trigger event on a computing device and causing a user of the computing device to be authenticated for access to a resource that is to be accessed via a secure communication session. Based at least in part on authenticating the user for access to the resource, a token may be stored in a location that is accessible to a headend appliance associated with the secure communication session. The token may indicate that the user of the computing device is authenticated for access to the resource. In this way, at least partially responsive to detecting an occurrence of a networking trigger event, the secure communication session may be established between the computing device and the headend appliance to provide the computing device with access to the resource.
