- providing a response by the headset to a challenge received from a seat device of an entertainment system of the aircraft for authenticating the headset after the headset is connected to the seat device, the challenge and the response based on a shared key used by the seat device and the headset;
enabling further communication from the headset to the seat device, and the seat device to the headset, upon determining that the response is valid;
disabling further communication from the headset to the seat device upon determining that the response is invalid, while the headset continues to receive audio from the seat device to operate as a passive audio listening device; and
disabling by the seat device, a data line for the headset for receiving communication from the headset, after the headset is disconnected from the seat device.
