1. A method of authorizing a portable communication device to access a network resource, the method being performed at a network management system in communication with the portable communication device via a network, the method comprising:

  • receiving, from a portable communication device via a network, a request to access a network resource;

    dynamically and selectively determining, on a processor, whether the portable communication device is authorized to access the requested network resource, the determination being based on a unique identifying attribute associated with the portable communication device without the unique identifying attribute being predefined in a user profile database and without querying the portable communication device or its user for information;

    if the portable communication device is authorized, allowing the portable communication device to access the network resource; and

    if the portable communication device is not authorized, redirecting the portable network device to an authentication system where the portable communication device is enabled to submit authentication-related information so that the portable communication system may be authorized to access the requested network resource.
