Abstract
Techniques involving migrating authenticated content on a network towards the consumer of the content. One representative technique includes a network node receiving an encrypted seed having at least a location of the user data at a network service that stores the user data, and a cryptographic key to access the user data. The seed is received in response to a user login attempt to the network service. The user data is requested from the location using at least the received cryptographic key. The method further includes receiving and storing the user data at the network node, where the network node is physically closer to a location of the user than is the location of the network service. If the user is successfully authenticated, user access is provided to the stored user data at the network node rather than from the network service.
