Classification: CPC H  A  G | IPC A  G  H

Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
storing a first encryption algorithm at the second device;
generating the first unencrypted version of the random number;
encrypting the first unencrypted version of the random number in accordance with the first encryption algorithm to generate the first encrypted version of the random number;
transmitting the first unencrypted version of the random number and the first encrypted version of the random number over the wireless communication link;
storing one of a second encryption algorithm and a decryption algorithm at the first device, the second encryption algorithm being identical to the first encryption algorithm, the decryption algorithm being complementary to the first encryption algorithm;
wherein the authentication procedure is performed on the second device by respectively applying the one of the second encryption algorithm and a decryption algorithm to the first unencrypted version of the random number and the first encrypted version of the random number.
