Abstract
Based on security parameters previously agreed upon by first and second communication devices, a first security value is determined by the second communication device and transmitted to the first communication device. The first communication device determines second and third security values based on the security parameters and the first security value and transmits the second and third security values to the second communication device. The second communication device determines a fourth security value based on the security parameters and, if the second security value matches the fourth security value, authenticates the first communication device. Upon successful authentication of the first communication device, a shared key is determined by both communication devices based on the third security value and the security parameters.

8. A method for agreeing upon a shared key between first communication and second communication devices, comprising:
-
agreeing upon security parameters by the first and second communication devices; determining a first security value by the second communication device based on the security parameters previously agreed upon; transmitting the first security value from the second communication device to the first communication device; determining second and third security values by the first communication device based on the first security value and the security parameters previously agreed upon; transmitting the second and third security values from the first communication device to the second communication device; authenticating the first communication device by the second communication device, if the second security value matches a fourth security value determined by the second communication device based on the security parameters previously agreed upon; determining, by the first and second communication devices upon successful authentication of the first communication device, a shared key based on the third security value and the security parameters previously agreed upon. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

14. A device for agreeing upon a shared key between first and second communication devices, comprising:
-
means for agreeing upon security parameters by the first and second communication devices; means, in the second communication device, for determining a first security value based on the security parameters previously agreed upon and for transmitting the first security value to the first communication device; means, in the first communication device, for determining second and third security values based on the first security value and the security parameters previously agreed upon and for transmitting the second and third security values to the second communication device; means, in the second communication device, for determining a fourth security value based on the security parameters previously agreed upon and for authenticating the first communication device, if the second security value matches the fourth security value; means for determining, by the first and second communication devices upon successful authentication of the first communication device, a shared key based on the third security value and the security parameters previously agreed upon.
