Securely Exchanging Cipher Keys
First Claim
1. A system for securely exchanging cipher keys between an implantable device and an external device, the system includes:
- an implantable device communicatively coupled with an external device, wherein the implantable device comprises a cipher key exchange subsystem configured for;
receiving an indication that a magnet is detected relative to the implantable device;
receiving an authorization request from the external device, wherein the authorization request is a request to receive a first cipher key of a cipher key exchange; and
based on receiving the indication that the magnet is detected and receiving the authorization request from the external device, generating a first cipher key transmittal instruction, wherein the first cipher key transmittal instruction instructs the first cipher key to be transmitted to the external device by the implantable device, andwherein the external device is configured for;
transmitting the authorization request to the implantable device; and
receiving the first cipher key from the implantable device.

Abstract
Methods and systems for securely exchanging cipher keys between an implantable device and an external device are described. An example method includes: receiving an authorization request from the external device, wherein the authorization request is a request to receive a first cipher key of a cipher key exchange; receiving an indication that a magnet is detected relative to the implantable device, wherein the indication signifies a secure environment for communication between the implantable device and the external device; and after receiving the authorization request and the indication of a detected magnet, generating a first cipher key transmittal instruction, wherein the first cipher key transmittal instruction instructs the first cipher key to be transmitted to the external device by the implantable device.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for securely exchanging cipher keys between an implantable device and an external device, the method includes:
-
receiving an authorization request from the external device, wherein the authorization request is a request to receive a first cipher key of a cipher key exchange; receiving an indication that a magnet is detected relative to the implantable device, wherein the indication signifies a secure environment for communication between the implantable device and the external device; and after receiving the authorization request and the indication of a detected magnet, generating a first cipher key transmittal instruction, wherein the first cipher key transmittal instruction instructs the first cipher key to be transmitted to the external device by the implantable device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
