Abstract
Generating network identifier information and authentication information for wireless communication with a controller includes accessing, by the controller, identity information associated with the controller. The controller obfuscates the identity information and generates the network identifier information and the authentication information associated with the controller using the obfuscated identity information. The controller is configured for wireless communication using the generated network identifier information and the generated authentication information.
Claims20
A method for generating network identifier information and authentication information for wireless communication with a controller, the method comprising:
- accessing, by the controller, identity information associated with the controller;
- obfuscating, by the controller, the identity information to produce obfuscated identity information associated with the controller;
- generating, by the controller, the network identifier information and the authentication information associated with the controller using the obfuscated identity information;
- and
- configuring the controller for wireless communication using the generated network identifier information and the generated authentication information.
A method for generating network identifier information and authentication information for wireless communication with a controller, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device via wireless communication, identity information associated with the controller;
- obfuscating, by the computing device, the identity information to produce obfuscated identity information associated with the controller;
- generating, by the computing device, the network identifier information and the authentication information associated with the controller using the obfuscated identity information;
- transmitting, by the computing device via the wireless communication, a request for initiating a wireless communication session between the computing device and the controller, the request including the generated network identifier information and the generated authentication information associated with the controller.
A controller device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- computer-readable memory encoded with instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the controller device to:
- access identity information associated with the controller device;
- obfuscate the identity information to produce obfuscated identity information associated with the controller device;
- generate network identifier information and authentication information associated with the controller device using the obfuscated identity information;
- and
- configure the wireless communication interface for a wireless communication session using the generated network identifier information and the generated authentication information.
