Abstract
Systems and methods for securely pairing a transmitting device with a receiving device are described. The systems and methods may communicate with a first device via a first communication method over a wireless communication network. The systems and methods may transmit, to the first device via a second communication method, a first sensory pattern representing a first key. In addition, the system and methods may communicate with the first device via the first communication method using the first key.
Claims20
A first communication device for performing secure communications, the first communication device comprising:
- one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- in response to determining that a second communication device is within a range of the first communication device for secure communicating using a short-range wireless radio communication method, capture, via one or more sensors of the first communication device, one or more non-light sensory patterns outputted by the second communication device via a sensory communication method different from the short-range wireless radio communication method, wherein the one or more non-light sensory patterns encode a security key;
- determine, using one or more decoding schemes, the security key based on the one or more non-light sensory patterns;
- and
- receive encrypted messages from the second communication device via the short-range wireless radio communication method and decrypt the encrypted messages using the security key.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, effectuate operations comprising:
- based on detecting a second communication device within a range of a first communication device for secure communicating using a first communication method, receiving a sensory pattern from the second communication device via a second communication method different from the first communication method;
- determining, using one or more decoding schemes, a security key based on the sensory pattern;
- and
- receiving, from the second communication device, via the first communication method, encrypted messages and decrypting the encrypted messages using the security key.
A method, implemented by one or more processors, comprising:
- receiving a sensory pattern in connection with a second communication device being detected within a range of a first communication device for secure communication using a first communication method, wherein the sensory pattern is received from the second communication device via a second communication method different from the first communication method;
- determining, using one or more decoding schemes, a security key based on the sensory pattern;
- and
- receiving, via the first communication method, encrypted messages and decrypting the encrypted messages using the security key.
