  • Patent number: 11658960
    Abstract: A transmitter in an Internet of Things (IoT) network parses an authentication credential into different portions and assigns each portion to one of multiple pre-determined frequency channels for transmission. A receiver for which the authentication credential is intended first authenticates that the different portions of the authentication credential are sent on the pre-determined frequency channels. The receiver then compiles the portions and authenticates the authentication credential.
