Abstract
A network access point secures a WiFi network, and acts as a picocell, by identifying applications running on computer-based devices, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and the like, that seek to access the Internet (or another network) via the access point and applying network access policies to data communications by those applications according to application, location, context, device and/or user characteristics.
