Secure communication initiation
First Claim
1. A method for at least partially initiating a communication session between a first communication device and a second communication device, wherein the first and the second devices have a dedicated contact surface, the method comprising:
- initiating a communication session between the communication devices, wherein initiating a communication session includes;
detecting that the dedicated contact surface of the first communication device and the dedicated contact surface of the second communication device are in physical contact with each other to enable wireless communication between the first and second communication devices.

Abstract
The communication control device includes a dedicated contact surface, a control unit and a wireless communication unit. Upon contact between a dedicated contact surface of one communication control device and a dedicated contact surface of another communication control device, the two control units initiate establishing a secure communication session. This initiation includes negotiating initiator and acceptor roles for the communication control devices and exchanging authentication information to enable a wireless secure communication session between the communication control devices.
