Abstract:

A system providing methods for a device to apply a security policy required for connection to a network is described. In response to receipt of a request from a device for connection to a particular network, a current policy to apply to said device for governing the connection to this particular network is determined from a plurality of available security policies available to the device. This current policy to apply to said device is generated by merging a plurality of security policies available for governing connections. After said current policy is applied to the device, the connection from the device to this particular network is allowed to proceed.
