ESTABLISHING WIRELESS UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (WUSB) CONNECTION VIA A TRUSTED MEDIUM

摘要

An extensible architecture for untrusted medium (e.g., wireless) device configuration via trusted medium. The architecture includes systems and methods for establishing a wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) connection between a connecting device and a host device using a trusted medium, such as a wired connection. In one implementation, the connecting device sends an association request through the trusted medium to the host device. The association request includes device attributes associated with the WUSB component of the connecting device. In response, the host device parses and validates the association request and determines connection attributes for connecting using WUSB. The host device sends a response with the connection attributes through the trusted medium to the connecting device. Using the connection attributes, the connecting device configures the WUSB component and establishes a WUSB connection with the host device.
