Configuring a remote electronic device by a peer electronic device in a networked environment

A system comprising:

• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processing unit that executes the computer-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• initializing a communication network based on a pre-defined configuration parameter associated with a first instance of an application executed on a first computing device;
• inputting, by the first computing device, a configuration file to configure the first computing device;
• and
• in response to identifying an initialization of a second instance of the application at a second computing device that is communicatively coupled to the first computing device, and establishing a secured communication network between the first computing device and the second computing device based on a secured key exchange between the first computing device and the second computing device, automatically sending, over the secured communication network, different from the communication network via the application, the configuration file to the second computing device,
• wherein the secured key exchange is established based on:
• receiving, at the first computing device, an encrypted temporary key from the second computing device;
• decrypting the encrypted temporary key received at the first computing device;
• encrypting, by the first computing device and using the decrypted temporary key, a session key;
• sending, by the first computing device, the encrypted session key to the second computing device;
• validating, by the first computing device, a configuration request received from the second computing device based on identification of the session key in the configuration request;
• and
• sending, by the first computing device, the configuration file to the second computing device in response to validating the configuration request.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores thereon computer-executable instructions that in response to execution by a processor, perform operations comprising:

• initializing, by a first computing device, a wireless access point on a communication network based on a pre-defined configuration parameter associated with a first instance of an application executed on the first computing device;
• identifying, by the first computing device, an initialization of a second instance of the application at a second computing device based on a connection request received by the first computing device from the second computing device to connect with the wireless access point;
• inputting, by the first computing device, a configuration file to configure the first computing device;
• and
• in response to identifying the initialization of the second instance of the application at the second computing device based on receiving the connection request from the second computing device and determining that a connection between the first computing device and the wireless access point is established, sending, by the first computing device via the application over a secured communication network, different from the communication network, the configuration file to the second computing device based on a secured key exchange between the first computing device and the second computing device,
• wherein the connection is a first connection, and non-transitory computer readable medium stores thereon computer-executable instructions that in response to execution by a processor, perform operations further comprising:
• establishing a second connection between the first computing device and the second computing device over the secured communication network to exchange communication data comprising configuration settings for the second computing device, wherein the secured key exchange is established based on:
• receiving, at the first computing device, an encrypted temporary key from the second computing device, wherein the encrypted temporary key corresponds to a temporary key encrypted using a public key shared between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• decrypting, using a private key of the first computing device, the encrypted temporary key received at the first computing device;
• encrypting, by the first computing device and using the decrypted temporary key, a session key to generate an encrypted session key;
• sending, by the first computing device, the encrypted session key to the second computing device;
• validating, by the first computing device, a configuration request received from the second computing device based on identification of the session key in the configuration request;
• and
• sending, by the first computing device, the communication data comprising the configuration settings, wherein the communication data is encrypted using the session key.
