Systems and methods for identifying a network

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a digital device, network information associated with a network, the network information comprising an IP address;

determining if the IP address is not part of a private non-routable address block and determining to generate a credential request including the IP address based on the determination that the IP address is not part of the private non-routable address block;

generating an access identifier based on the network information based on the determination, the access identifier comprising an IP address;

generating a credential request including the access identifier;

providing the credential request including the access identifier to a credential server;

receiving, by the digital device, a credential request response from the credential server, the credential request response comprising network credentials to access the network; and

providing the network credentials to a network device to access the network.

receiving, by a digital device, network information associated with a network, wherein the network information comprises a URL and a location from XML data;

formatting the URL and the location by selecting a domain from the URL, removing punctuation from the domain and the location, removing white space from the domain and the location, and truncating a combination of the URL and the location to a limited number of characters;

generating an access identifier based on the network information, the access identifier comprising the formatted URL and location;

generating a credential request including the access identifier;

providing the credential request to a credential server;

receiving, by the digital device, a credential request response from the credential server, the credential request response comprising network credentials to access the network; and

providing the network credentials to a network device to access the network.

an access ID module configured to generate an access identifier based on the network information.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises an SSID associated with the network.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the network information comprises a captive portal redirection page.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises at least a part of a URL from the captive portal redirection page.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises at least a part of a title from the captive portal redirection page.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the network information comprises a captive portal redirection page.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises at least a part of a URL from the captive portal redirection page.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises at least a part of a title from the captive portal redirection page.

19. A system of comprising:

a processor configured to receive network information associated with a network wherein the network information comprises a URL and a location from XML data, format the URL and the location by selecting a domain from the URL, remove punctuation from the domain and the location, remove white space from the domain and the location, truncate a combination of the URL and the location to a limited number of characters, generate a credential request including an access identifier, the access identifier comprising the formatted URL and location, provide the credential request to a credential server, receive a credential request response from the credential server, the credential request response comprising network credentials to access the network, and provide the network credentials to a network device to access the network; and

an access ID module configured to generate an access identifier based on the network information.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises an SSID associated with the network.

21. The system of claim 19 , wherein the network information comprises a captive portal redirection page.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises at least a part of a URL from the captive portal redirection page.

23. The system of claim 21 , wherein the access identifier based on the network information comprises at least a part of a title from the captive portal redirection page.

24. A non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium comprising executable instructions, the instructions being executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a digital device, network information associated with a network, the network information comprising an IP address;

determining if the IP address is not part of a private non-routable address block and determining to generate a credential request including the IP address based on the determination that the IP address is not part of the private non-routable address block;

generating an access identifier based on the network information based on the determination, the access identifier comprising an IP address;

generating a credential request including the access identifier;

providing the credential request including the access identifier to a credential server;

receiving, by the digital device, a credential request response from the credential server, the credential request response comprising network credentials to access the network; and

providing the network credentials to a network device to access the network.

25. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24 , wherein the access identifier comprises an SSID associated with the network.

26. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24 , wherein the network information comprises a captive portal redirection page.

27. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 26 , wherein the access identifier comprises at least a part of a URL from the captive portal redirection page.

28. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 26 , wherein the access identifier comprises at least a part of a title from the captive portal redirection page.

29. A non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium comprising executable instructions, the instructions being executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a digital device, network information associated with a network, wherein the network information comprises a URL and a location from XML data;

formatting the URL and the location by selecting a domain from the URL, removing punctuation from the domain and the location, removing white space from the domain and the location, and truncating a combination of the URL and the location to a limited number of characters;

generating an access identifier based on the network information, the access identifier comprising the formatted URL and location;

generating a credential request including the access identifier;
