Secure device pairing

A second device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory having program instructions stored therein that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the second device to:
• perform a pairing operation with a first device, wherein performing the pairing operation includes:
• receiving, by the second device, a signed version of a package that includes first data relating to the second device, wherein the signed version of the package is signed with a signature of a trusted computing system;
• verifying the signature of the trusted computing system;
• and
• in response to successful verification of the signature of the trusted computing system, establishing, using the first data, a secure communication link with the first device, wherein the establishing includes sending second data to the first device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a trusted computing system, a request for a signature from a first device, wherein the request includes first data about a second device for performing a pairing operation between the first device and the second device;
• verifying, by the trusted computing system, the first data;
• and
• in response to a successful verification of the first data, providing, by the trusted computing system, the requested signature to the first device, wherein the first device is configured to send a package signed with the signature to the second device, the second device being configured to verify the signature and send second data to the first device in order to establish a secure communication link.
