Abstract: A method of wireless pairing electronic devices includes: receiving a pairing request; transmitting, a first wildcard token via radio communication; searching for a pre-shared token; searching for the wildcard token via radio communication; establishing a wireless connection with a first device via radio communication based on the first wildcard token in response to receiving information including the first wildcard token from the first device; establishing a wireless connection with a second device via radio communication based on the pre-shared token in response to receiving information including the pre-shared token from the second device; and establishing radio communication at a second power level in response to initiating pairing with one or more of the first device and the second device.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system are provided for verifying authenticity of a medical component endpoint. The method is under control of one or more computer systems configured with specific executable instructions. The method receives, at a local medical equipment (LME) node, a cipher message combination that includes a challenge and a corresponding valid response, the LME node is unable to independently calculate the valid response. The method conveys the challenge, from the LME node, to a medical component endpoint that includes an authentication circuit, receives a candidate response from the component endpoint, where the candidate response is generated by the authentication circuit based on the challenge and determines whether the candidate response matches the valid response from the corresponding cipher message combination. The method further authenticates the component endpoint based on whether the candidate and valid responses match.
