Systems and methods for secure communications between media devices

A system for secure communications between media devices comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the following to be performed:
• for each second computing device of a plurality of second computing devices:
• performing a pairing between the first computing device and the second computing device over a local area network (LAN), the performing of the pairing including:
• in response to power-up of the second computing device, establishing, by the first computing device, an Internet Layer end-to-end security connection over the LAN between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• in response to establishing the Internet Layer end-to-end security connection, storing an association between the first computing device and the second computing device indicating a pairing of the first computing device and the second computing device over the LAN;
• and
• transmitting requested media network data of the received media network data from the first computing device to the second computing device in a secure manner by using the Internet Layer end-to-end security connection over the LAN that was established as part of pairing of the first computing device to the second computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the following to be performed:

• performing a pairing between a first computing device and a second computing device over a local area network (LAN), the performing of the pairing including:
• in response to power-up of the second computing device, establishing an Internet Protocol Suite Internet Layer (Internet Layer) end-to-end security connection over the LAN between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• in response to establishing the Internet Layer end-to-end security connection, storing an association between the first computing device and the second computing device indicating a pairing of the first computing device and the second computing device over the LAN;
• sending a request to the first computing device for media network data that was received by the first computing device;
• and
• in response to the request, receiving, by second computing device, the requested media network data from the first computing device in a secure manner by using the Internet Layer end-to-end security connection over the LAN that was established as part of pairing of the first computing device to the second computing device.
