Abstract

Secure re-authentication of host devices roaming between different connection and/or access points within a network controlled by the same administrative domain is described. Platform overhead associated with exchanging information for authentication and/or validation on each new connection during mobility is reduced by enabling prior authenticated network access to influence subsequent network access.
