  • Automated lightweight and secure device pairing
    Patent number: 11863993
    Abstract: A method for automatic pairing of two devices for wireless communication includes detecting, by a first device, that a second device is in a communicable range of the first device, where the first device has not been paired with the second device for wireless communication. The method may include determining, by the first device, by communicating with a third device, that the second device is paired with the third device. The first device and the third device are also paired previously. The method may include transmitting, by the third device, a key material to the second device. The method may include confirming, by the first device and by the second device, that the key material matches. The method may include establishing, by the first device, a communication link with the second device for wireless communication in response to the key material being a match.
