Estimating the term…
An extensible architecture for untrusted medium (e.g., wireless) device configuration via trusted medium. The architecture includes systems and methods for establishing a wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) connection between a connecting device and a host device using a trusted medium, such as a wired connection. In one implementation, the connecting device sends an association request through the trusted medium to the host device. The association request includes device attributes associated with the WUSB component of the connecting device. In response, the host device parses and validates the association request and determines connection attributes for connecting using WUSB. The host device sends a response with the connection attributes through the trusted medium to the connecting device. Using the connection attributes, the connecting device configures the WUSB component and establishes a WUSB connection with the host device.
One or more device-readable media encoded with device-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:
A connecting device comprising a wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) component, the connecting device configured to send an association request to a host device through a trusted medium, the association request including device attributes related to the connecting device, the connecting device further configured to receive connection attributes from the host device and to establish a WUSB connection with the host device using the connection attributes.
A method of communication between a connecting device and a host device, the connecting device and the host device being connected with a wired medium, the method comprising:
