A method and devices for enabling safe data transfer between input/output device handlers

3-18. (canceled)

A method of a second IODH, handling information on a second IOD, managed by the second IODH, the method comprising:

• receiving, from the second IOD, information on a beacon signal, wherein the information comprises IOD specific information on the second IOD and session specific information on a session, ongoing via at least parts of a first IOD, managed by a first IODH, and
• forwarding, to the first IODH, at least parts of the information on the beacon signal and an identity of the second IODH;

21-33. (canceled)

A first IODH, comprises processor circuitry, and a memory, comprising computer readable instructions, which, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the first IODH to:

• receive, from a second IODH, managing a second IOD of a second set of IODs, information on a beacon signal received by the second IOD, wherein the information comprises IOD specific information on the second IOD and session specific information on the ongoing session;
• initiate, based at least partly on the received information, a determination on whether at least part of an IOD managed by the second IODH is allowed to or prohibited from taking part in the ongoing session, and
• manage, at least parts of the second IOD to take part in the ongoing session, in response to having become aware of that the at least parts of the second IOD is allowed to take part in the ongoing session and based, at least partly on information on the beacon signal, received from the second IODH.

A second IODH comprising processor circuitry, and a memory, comprising computer readable instructions, which, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the second IODH to:

• receive, from the second IOD, information on a beacon signal, wherein the information comprises IOD specific information on the second IOD and session specific information on a session, ongoing via at least parts of a first IOD, managed by a first IODH, and
• forward, to the first IODH, at least parts of the information on the beacon signal and an identity of the second IODH.
