BIOMETRIC-BASED WIRELESS DEVICE ASSOCIATION

摘要

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for automatically associating a wireless device to a data processing system using biometric data is disclosed. The method includes: receiving biometric data corresponding to a user of a data processing system; creating a certificate by the data processing system based on the biometric data; discovering a wireless device able to communicate with the data processing system; responsive to discovering the wireless device, automatically requesting a certificate from the wireless device; and, responsive to the certificate from the wireless device matching the certificate created by the data processing system, automatically associating the wireless device with the data processing system.
