Abstract
A method for facilitating connection between an entity's network and a first electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, using an RFID (radio frequency identification) reader associated with the first electronic device, a first file from an RFID tag, the RFID tag being provided by the entity. The method also includes obtaining connection information from the first file, the connection information including at least one of a security policy and network configuration. The method further includes enabling a user to attempt to log in via the first electronic device, using the connection information, into the network, wherein the log in is attempted using a different connection modality than that employed to receive the first file from the RFID tag.
