Abstract
A method of secure transfer of local private encoding data between a first communication device and a second communication device, the first communication device and the second communication device being operable to communicate with each other via a communication connection there between, a respectively adapted first communication device, a respectively adapted second communication device, a system comprising such first and second communication devices and also a computer program product for carrying out the above method.
Claims15
A method of secure transfer of local private encoding data between a first communication device having a first interface unit and a second communication device having a second interface unit, the first communication device and the second communication device being configured to communicate with each other via a communication connection there between, the method comprising:
- providing secure access information by the second communication device;
- transmitting the secure access information from the second communication device to the first communication device via a first secure communication path, the first secure communication path comprising the second interface unit and the first interface unit and being physically and/or logically separated from the communication connection, wherein the transmitting comprises:
- displaying or sending, by the second interface unit, of the secure access information;
- and
- acquiring or receiving, by the first interface unit, of the secure access information;
- establishing, based on the secure access information, a secure communication link between the first communication device and the second communication device on the communication connection between the first communication device and the second communication device;
- and
- transferring the local private encoding data via the secure communication link on the communication channel between the first communication device and the second communication device.
A communication device, comprising:
- a first communication interface configured to communicate with another communication device via a communication connection;
- a processor configured to:
- receive or acquire, via a first interface unit and a first secure communication path being physically and/or logically separated from the communication connection, secure access information provided by the other communication device;
- establish, based on the secure access information, a secure communication link to the other communication device on the communication connection to the other communication device;
- and
- transfer local private encoding data to the other communication device via the secure communication link on the communication connection.
A system comprising:
- a first communication device comprising:
- a first communication interface configured to communicate with another communication device via a communication connection;
- a first processor configured to:
- receive or acquire, via a first interface unit and a first secure communication path being physically and/or logically separated from the communication connection, secure access information provided by the other communication device;
- establish, based on the secure access information, a secure communication link to the other communication device on the communication connection to the other communication device;
- transfer local private encoding data to the other communication device via the secure communication link on the communication connection, and
- a second communication device comprising:
- a second communication interface configured to communicate with another communication device via a communication connection;
- and
- a second processor configured to provide secure access in a manner that the secure access information is adapted for transmission to the other communication device via a second interface unit and the first secure communication path and configured to receive local private encoding data from the other communication device via the secure communication link on the communication channel.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including program code configured to, when executed by a computing device, to at least:
- provide secure access information by a second communication device having a second interface unit;
- transmit the secure access information from the second communication device to a first communication device having a first interface unit via a first secure communication path, the first secure communication path comprising the second interface unit and the first interface unit and being physically and/or logically separated from the communication connection, wherein the transmitting comprises:
- displaying or sending, by the second interface unit, of the secure access information and
- acquiring or receiving, by the first interface unit, of the secure access information;
- establish, based on the secure access information, a secure communication link between the first communication device and the second communication device on the communication connection between the first communication device and the second communication device;
- and
- transfer the local private encoding data via the secure communication link on the communication channel.
