1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, at a service provider gateway and from a customer device of a customer connected with a service provider over a secure connection, cryptographic authentication information generated based at least in part on a secret key of the customer, wherein the secure connection is at least in part by a physical fiber cable connecting the customer device to the service provider;
forwarding, from the service provider gateway, the cryptographic authentication information to an authentication service that is operable to authenticate the cryptographic authentication information; and
as a result of the authentication service successfully authenticating the cryptographic authentication information, configuring the service provider gateway to route network traffic from the customer device to one or more services of the service provider different from the authentication service.
