Abstract
A method and apparatus that establish secure communications between two stations. The apparatus includes a low power communication processor and a host processor in a sleep mode. The low power communication processor receives a protocol message to initiate a communication. The protocol message includes an encrypted cryptographic identity token and triggers a wake-up event in order to wake up the host processor according to a result of identity a freshness checks performed by the low power communication processor.
Claims33
An apparatus comprising:
- a low power communication processor to receive a protocol message to initiate a communication, wherein the protocol message includes an encrypted cryptographic identity token;
- and
- a host processor to be awakened by the low power communication processor based on a result of an identity and freshness checks performed by said low power consumption communication processor.
A method comprising:
- while operating in a sleep mode receiving a protocol message to initiate a communication, wherein the protocol message includes an encrypted cryptographic identity token;
- checking identity and freshness of the protocol massage;
- and
- waking up a host processor based on the checking of the identity and freshness of the protocol message.

A mobile station comprising:
- a dipole antenna to receive a protocol message that includes an encrypted cryptographic identity token in a sleep mode;
- a low power communication processor operably coupled to said dipole antenna to perform identity and freshness checks on said protocol message;
- and
- a host processor to be awakened by the low power communication processor based on a result of said identity and freshness checks.
