Abstract: Methods and systems for a device pairing system configured to pair and including a peripheral device (PD) and a central device (CD), and memory communicatively coupled to processor(s) and storing instructions that cause the system to perform when executed by processor(s): establishing a connection over a wireless communication channel between the devices; conducting, by the CD, a discovery of a characteristic value of the PD; determining an authentication determination prior to device pairing based on determination of a central characteristic value to arrive at one of a successful determination and an unsuccessful determination; utilizing the CD to send a pairing request to the PD to initiate pairing over the wireless communication channel based upon the characteristic discovery of the characteristic value of the PD; and, in response to the successful determination as the authentication determination, approving the pairing request with the PD and sending a pairing response to the CD.
