PROXIMITY BASED AUTHENTICATION USING BLUETOOTH

摘要

Techniques for securing communications between fixed devices and mobile devices. A mobile device management server mediates communications between the fixed device and mobile device. The mobile device management server enrolls mobile devices and then assists with pairing the mobile devices to fixed devices in an out-of-band manner. This enrollment, coupled with out-of-band pairing, improves the speed and security of authenticating communication between fixed and mobile devices. If the mobile device has appropriate capabilities, the mobile device management server may request that the mobile device obtain and verify biometric data from a user prior to enrollment and performing authentication procedures.

主权项

1. A method for securing communications between a first device and a mobile device, comprising:
verifying enrollment credentials received from the mobile device; receiving, at a management server, a first security token associated with a BLUETOOTH subsystem of the mobile device; receiving, at the management server, a second security token associated with a BLUETOOTH subsystem of the first device; and performing an out-of-band pairing between the first device and the mobile device based on the first and second security tokens, wherein the first and second security tokens comprise BLUETOOTH tokens received at the management server via an infrastructure network.
