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.
