Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an embodiment, the method is comprising, receiving an access request, from an authenticator device, to grant a supplicant device access to a data network; transmitting the access request to an authentication server; after sending a response that the access request was granted, updating a trust topology map by including in the trust topology map information that has been obtained from the response and that indicates a secure link between the authenticator device and the supplicant device, and causing displaying the updated trust topology map as a logical map depicting one or more network devices and roles assigned to the one or more network devices; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing device.
