Abstract
A system and method for controlling security of a remote network power device powering a remote network device are disclosed. The system includes a remote network power supply device having a secure standard implemented thereon and having a power-supply-identity, a remote unattended network device powered from the power supply device, a portal having a secure connection for controlling the power supply device, and a power addressable protocol based on the secure standard and running on the portal for receiving and sending one or more secure communications over the secure connection in response to a directive issued by an authorized client for controlling the power supply device powering the remote unattended network device. The portal uses the power-supply-identity of the power supply device to authenticate the power supply device. Preferably, the secure standard is an IEEE 802.1x standard and, preferably, the power addressable protocol is based on the IEEE 802.1x standard.
