Patent number: 8787575Abstract: A system for propagating encryption key information between wireless communication devices without the requirement of pairing each and every device. A wireless communication device may be paired with at least one device in a group of devices. When a secure link is established between these devices, a determination may be made as to whether encryption key information should be passed from one device to another. The additional encryption key information may allow a wireless communication device to create a secure link with other devices without having to first establish a trusted relationship (e.g., go through a pairing process) with the other devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: France BrevetsInventors: Miika Laaksonen, Hannu Ensio Laine, Jan-Erik Ekberg
