Claim 0:
1. A method for providing secure gatekeeping of a communication from a remote internet-based website having an Internet-Protocol (IP) address to a specific implantable biomedical device, the method comprising:
receiving, by a gatekeeping device, the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website, wherein the communication received is encoded using a first encoding algorithm;
decoding, by the gatekeeping device, the communication received;
encoding, by the gatekeeping device, the communication decoded using a second encoding algorithm;
wirelessly relaying, by the gatekeeping device, the communication encoded using the second encoding algorithm to the specific implantable biomedical device;
comparing, by the gatekeeping device, the IP address of the remote internet-based website to a predetermined static IP address corresponding to the specific implantable biomedical device; and
rejecting, by the gatekeeping device, the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website if the IP address of the remote internet-based website is not that of the predetermined static IP address corresponding to the specific implantable biomedical device.
