Systems and methods for secure intermediary data transfers using close proximity wireless communication

摘要

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for utilizing close proximity wireless communication (CPWC) technology for a secure out-of-band (OOB) transfer of communication information between two or more devices at close range. The communication information may be used to establish a secure communication channel over a greater distance than possible using CPWC technologies. A host device may include a processing unit in communication with a communication module and a CPWC module. An edge device may include a processing unit in communication with a communication module and a CPWC tag. The CPWC tag may receive communication information from the CPWC module of the host device. In other embodiments, the edge device may receive communication information from an intermediary transfer device. The edge device may then use the communication information to facilitate secure communication via the communication module of the edge device and the communication module of the host device.

主权项

1. An electronic transfer device comprising:
a close proximity wireless communication (CPWC) receiver configured to receive communication information from a CPWC module associated with a first device; a processing unit in communication with the CPWC receiver, wherein the processing unit is configured to read the communication information received from the first device CPWC module; and a transfer CPWC module in communication with the processing unit, wherein the transfer CPWC module is configured to transmit the communication information to a CPWC receiver associated with a second device, wherein the communication information is configured to be used to facilitate communication between the first device and the second device.
