US 12,003,493 B2 · Device pre-authentication

Abstract

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an pre-authentication service is provided. The service may support a transport layer security handshake and determine authentication based on the initial message. The service may provide for the generation of a message that initiates a handshake between devices in which the message includes an authentication string used for authentication. The service may provide for the generation of another authentication string for comparison. The service may also support authorization of a device. The service may minimize potential malicious attacks and activities between the devices.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a first device from a second device, a first message that includes a first authentication string including a password or a message authentication code, and initiates a handshaking procedure with the first device;
generating, by the first device, a second authentication string based on the first authentication string;
comparing, by the first device, the second authentication string and the first authentication string;
determining, by the first device based on the comparing, whether the second device is authenticated;
and
determining, by the first device, whether to establish a connection with the second device based on the determining.
