PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for efficiently establishing secure communications between mobile devices in a wireless network. SOLUTION: The system utilizes public key cryptography and unique hardware identifiers that enables authorizations for accessing wireless networks, such as picocells. Furthermore, the system eliminates from a mobile user the need for maintaining a plurality of secrets, such as user identifier/password pairs, PINs, or encryption keys, for accessing each device. Wireless devices distributed throughout an enterprise becomes capable of being efficiently initialized for secure communications. Well-known public key cryptography and machine unique identifiers are utilized to establish a secure channel and initialize the wireless devices. The wireless devices are enabled, to be paired or permanently associated by a user or a network administrator. Well-known public key cryptography and machine unique identifiers are utilized to establish a secure channel and associate the devices with each other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
