Abstract
A system includes a server, a first client device to communicate in an authenticated and secured manner with the server over a first communication link, and a second client device to communicate in an authenticated and secured manner with the first client device over a second communication link. The first client device is to cause the server and the second client device to share cryptography information. The cryptography information may then be used to secure a third communication link between the server and the second client device that does not include the first client device.
Claims22
A method for a first client device, the method comprising:
- causing a server and a second client device to share cryptography information that is to be used to secure a communication link between said server and said second client device that does not include said first client device.
A first client device comprising:
- a first communication interface through which said first client device is able to communicate in an authenticated manner with a server;
- a second communication interface through which said first client device is able to communicate in an authenticated manner with a second client device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store executable code which, when executed by said processor, causes said server and said second client device to share cryptography information.
A system comprising:
- a server;
- a first client device to communicate in an authenticated manner with said server over a first communication link;
- and
- a second client device to communicate in an authenticated manner with said first client device over a second communication link,
- wherein said first client device is to cause said server and said second client device to share cryptography information that is to be used to secure a third communication link between said server and said second client device that does not include said first client device.
