SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING SECURE COMMUNICATION 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 then be used to establish a secure communication channel over a greater distance than possible using CPWC technologies. In various embodiments, a host device may include a processing unit in communication with a communication module and a separate CPWC module. An edge device may include a processing unit in communication with a communication module and a CPWC tag. The CPWC tag may be configured to receive communication information from the CPWC module of the host 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. A method for secure communication, comprising:
obtaining, via a close proximity wireless communication (CPWC) tag associated with a first device, information from a CPWC module associated with a second device; reading, via a first device processing unit, the information obtained by the first device dynamic CPWC tag; and obtaining, via a third device CPWC tag, information from the second device CPWC module; reading, via a third device processing unit, the information obtained by the third device CPWC tag; communicating, via a first device communication module, with a second device communication module using the obtained information from the second device CPWC module; and communicating, via a third device communication module, with the second device communication module using the obtained information from the second device CPWC module.
