METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROPAGATING ENCRYPTION KEYS BETWEEN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES

摘要

A system for propagating encryption key information between wireless communication devices without the requirement of pairing each and every device. A wireless communication device may be paired with at least one device in a group of devices. When a secure link is established between these devices, a determination may be made as to whether encryption key information should be passed from one device to another. The additional encryption key information may allow a wireless communication device to create a secure link with other devices without having to first establish a trusted relationship (e.g., go through a pairing process) with the other devices.
