example 1

[0116]Example 1. A method comprising, by signal receiving circuitry of a first device configured to receive communications transmitted according to at least a first communication protocol, receiving a first signal according to the first communication protocol; in response to receiving the transmitting the first signal through the communication circuitry according to a second communication protocol; and establishing a secure link according to the second communication protocol, wherein establishing the secure link includes transmitting at least one signal at a first power level signal, and wherein communications transmitted over the secure link are at a second power magnitude greater than the first power magnitude.

example 2

[0117] Example 2. The method of example 1, wherein the first device is not configured to communicate according to the first communication protocol.

example 3

[0118] Example 3. The method of any of examples 1 or 2, wherein the first power magnitude is less than about 150 nanowatts (nW).

Abstract

This disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and techniques for establishing a secure connection between two or more devices. In some examples, a device is configured for wireless communication. The device comprises signal reception circuitry configured to receive communications transmitted according to at least a first communication protocol; communication circuitry configured for wireless communication according to at least a second communication protocol; and processing circuitry electrically coupled to the signal reception circuitry and the communication circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive, via the signal reception circuitry, a first signal according to the first communication protocol. In response to receiving the first signal, the processing circuitry is further configured to transmit, via the communication circuitry, a second signal according to the second communication protocol and establish a secure link according to the second communication protocol.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to device communication, and more particularly, to establishing a secure communication link between two or more devices. Background technique [0002] Computing devices may be configured to transmit communications to and receive communications from other computing devices. These communications may involve data or any information transferred between devices wirelessly or through wired connections. Communications that are public or otherwise do not contain sensitive information may not be secure. Communications intended to be private to two or more devices may be encrypted so that the information contained therein cannot be easily used by unauthorized devices. For example, an implantable medical device (IMD) may exchange sensitive information with one or more external devices over an encrypted wireless communication link. However, communication environments outside of the medical device space can also be used to exchange...
