First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device comprising:
- a security module to generate and update cryptographic keys to establish a secure relationship between the device and one or more station devices in a wireless video area network (WVAN);
a domain manager to maintain a security list of the station devices that are authorized to operate in the WVAN, wherein the domain manager is to further sign the security list having therein a strictly increasing sequence number issued by the domain manager to indicate a version of the security list maintained by the domain manager; and
an antenna for wireless transmitting of high-definition video and audio signals to the one or more station devices in the WVAN.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a domain manager, a request from a station device to be authorized to join a wireless video area network (WVAN), wherein the domain manager, upon receipt of the request, verifies that a public key of the station device is a valid key and requests a user to confirm authorization of the station device; maintaining, at the domain manager, a security list of the station devices that are authorized to operate in the WVAN, wherein the domain manager further signs the security list having therein a strictly increasing sequence number issued by the domain manager to indicate a version of the security list maintained by the domain manager; and upon verification that the public key of the station device is a valid key, transmitting an authorization command from the domain manager to the station device; and wirelessly transmitting via an antenna, high-definition video and audio signals to at least the station device in the WVAN. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A method comprising:
-
transmitting a request from a station device to a domain manager, the station device requesting to be authorized to join a wireless video area network (WVAN), wherein the domain manager to maintain a security list of the station devices that are authorized to operate in the WVAN and wherein the domain manager is to further sign the security list having therein a strictly increasing sequence number issued by the domain manager to indicate a version of the security list maintained by the domain manager; receiving an authorization command at the station device from the domain manager, the authorization command indicating the station device is authorized to join the WVAN; verifying that a public key of the domain manager is a valid key; requesting a user to confirm authorization of the domain manager; verifying an authentication token of the station device with the public key of the domain manager; and storing the authentication token of the station device and the public key of the domain manager if the verification is successful; and wirelessly transmitting via an antenna, high-definition video and audio signals to at least the station device in the WVAN. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A wireless video area network (WVAN) comprising:
-
one or more station devices; and a coordinator device including; a security module to generate and update cryptographic keys to establish a secure relationship between the coordinator device and the one or more station devices; and a domain manager to maintain a security list of station devices that are authorized to operate in the WVAN, wherein the domain manager is to further sign the security list having therein a strictly increasing sequence number issued by the domain manager to indicate a version of the security list maintained by the domain manager; and an antenna for wireless transmitting of high-definition video and audio signals to the one or more station devices in the WVAN. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
