Abstract
Devices, systems and methods use a first communication interface to connect with a local device via a first protocol and use a second communication interface to connect with a server via a second protocol. Embodiments relay secure communications between the local device and the server for authentication of the at least one local device by the server and responsive to authentication of the local device by the server, transmit information for storage in a secure memory of the authenticated local device.
Claims13
A network connected device comprising:
- a first communication interface associated with a first protocol;
- a second communication interface associated with a second protocol that is different than the first protocol;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the first communication interface and the second communication interface, the at least one processor configured to execute instructions to establish a connection with a server over a network via the second communication interface, relay secure communications between a local device and the server via the first and second communication interfaces, and process an authentication result for the local device received from the server via the first and second communication interfaces, wherein processing the authentication request includes
- in response to a request from the local device, communicating with the server to receive authentication information from the server, and
- stopping communication with the server if the authentication information indicates the server is not valid.
3 more elements
A system comprising
- a plurality of local devices;
- and
- a network connected device in communication with the local devices via a first communication interface (IF) using a first protocol and in communication with a network via a second communication IF using a second protocol, wherein the network connected device configured to relay secure communications between the local devices and at least one server to authenticate the local devices with the at least one server, and present states of the plurality of local devices as one logical device with respect to accesses from the network.
