Centralized secure device pairing

At least one machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a controller of a computing device, cause the controller to:

• create a first signature using an initial private key stored in a storage of the controller of the computing device;
• transmit the first signature to an issuing server via a network;
• receive a group public key and an associated member private key from the issuing server;
• create a second signature using the member private key;
• transmit the second signature to a member device;
• receive a third signature from the member device;
• and
• authenticate the third signature using the group public key.

An apparatus comprising logic to:

• receive a signature via a network from a member device created with an initial private key;
• verify the signature using an initial public key associated with the initial private key;
• signal the member device with a request for information associated with a group of member devices based on verification of the signature;
• receive a response to the request from the member device;
• generate a member private key from a group public key and a group private key associated with the group public key;
• and
• transmit the group public key and the member private key associated with the group to the member device.
