DEVICE COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of secure communication between devices, comprising:
- detecting, at an electronic device, that a first device is within a communication range of the electronic device according to one or more communication protocols;
establishing a restricted communication session with the first device based on detecting that the first device is within communication range of the electronic device;
receiving, via a first communication channel associated with the one or more communication protocols, an authentication request including a first device identifier from the first device in response to establishing the initial communication session with the first device;
determining whether a device identifier whitelist includes the first device identifier in response to receiving the authentication request, wherein the device identifier whitelist permits a device having an associated device identifier within the device identifier whitelist to communicate with the electronic device;
in accordance with a determination that the device identifier whitelist includes the first device identifier, permitting an unrestricted communication session with the first device; and
in accordance with a determination that the device identifier whitelist does not include the first identifier, terminating the restricted communication session with the first device.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to one or more systems, methods, and/or devices for secure communication between devices, such as devices within a vehicle. For example, some vehicles have integrated mobile computing platforms that enable communication with an extended productivity device. However, communication between the mobile computing platform and the extended productivity device may lack sufficient security. As such, the present disclosure provides for secure communication between the mobile computing platform and the extended productivity device by verifying, for example, an identity of the extended productivity device.

15. An apparatus for secure communication between devices, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processor to; detect that a first device is within a communication range of the electronic device according to one or more communication protocols; establish a restricted communication session with the first device based on detecting that the first device is within communication range of the electronic device; receive, via a first communication channel associated with the one or more communication protocols, an authentication request including a first device identifier from the first device in response to establishing the initial communication session with the first device; determine whether a device identifier whitelist includes the first device identifier in response to receiving the authentication request, wherein the device identifier whitelist permits a device having an associated device identifier within the device identifier whitelist to communicate with the electronic device; in accordance with a determination that the device identifier whitelist includes the first device identifier, permit an unrestricted communication session with the first device; and in accordance with a determination that the device identifier whitelist does not include the first identifier, terminate the restricted communication session with the first device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium for secure communication between devices, wherein the computer readable medium comprises code for:
-
detecting that a first device is within a communication range of the electronic device according to one or more communication protocols; establishing a restricted communication session with the first device based on detecting that the first device is within communication range of the electronic device; receiving, via a first communication channel associated with the one or more communication protocols, an authentication request including a first device identifier from the first device in response to establishing the initial communication session with the first device; determining whether a device identifier whitelist includes the first device identifier in response to receiving the authentication request, wherein the device identifier whitelist permits a device having an associated device identifier within the device identifier whitelist to communicate with the electronic device; in accordance with a determination that the device identifier whitelist includes the first device identifier, permitting an unrestricted communication session with the first device; and in accordance with a determination that the device identifier whitelist does not include the first identifier, terminating the restricted communication session with the first device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
