Device, system, and method of establishing secure wireless communication
First Claim
1. A method for establishing secure wireless communication, the method comprising:
- translating one or more measured parameters of a shared physical event between two or more wireless communication devices into two or more different versions of a secret data sequences using different quantization functions, wherein the two or more different versions of the secret data sequences are known only to the devices sharing said event;
combining a communication key with the two or more different versions of the secret data sequence to generate at least two different encoded messages for distribution over a wireless link accessible by said two or more wireless communication devices;
decoding said at least two different encoded messages using the two or more different versions of the secret data sequence to obtain two or more decoded communication keys;
verifying that at least one of the two or more decoded communication keys matches the communication key; and
establishing a wireless connection between the two or more wireless communication devices using the communication key as a basis for secure communication.

Abstract
Device, system, and method of establishing secure wireless communication. A system includes at least one wireless communication device having a sensor to measure one or more parameters of a physical event shared between that device and another wireless communication device, and a processor to translate the one or more measured parameters into a secret data sequence known only to the devices sharing the event. A first of the wireless communication devices sharing the event is to combine a communication key with the secret data sequence, thereby to generate an encoded message for distribution over a wireless link accessible by the devices, and a second of the wireless communication devices sharing the event is to decode said encoded message using the secret data sequence, thereby to obtain the communication key. The wireless communication devices may then connect using the secret communication key as a basis for secure communication.

10. A system for establishing secure wireless communication, the system comprising:
-
a first wireless communication device having a sensor to measure one or more parameters of a physical event shared between said first device and a second wireless communication device, the first device comprising a processor to translate said one or more measured parameters into two or more different versions of a secret data sequences using different quantization functions, wherein the two or more different versions of the secret data sequence are known only to the first and second devices sharing said event; the first device operative to combine a communication key with the two or more different versions of the secret data sequence to generate at least two different encoded messages for distribution over a wireless link accessible by said first and second devices, the second device operative to decode said at least two different encoded messages using the two or more different versions of the secret data sequence to obtain two or more decoded communication keys; the first device operative to verifie that at least one of the two or more decoded communication keys matches the communication key; and the first and second devices operative to establish a wireless connection using said communication key as a basis for secure communication. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
