Claim 8:
9. A system 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 system comprising:
a gatekeeping device in communication with both the specific implantable biomedical device and the internet; and
computer readable memory encoded with instructions that cause the system to:
receive, by the gatekeeping device, the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website, wherein the communication wirelessly received is encoded using a first encoding algorithm;
decode, by the gatekeeping device, the communication received;
encode, by the gatekeeping device, the communication decoded using a second encoding algorithm;
wirelessly relay, by the gatekeeping device, the communication encoded using the second encoding algorithm to the specific implantable biomedical device;
compare, 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
reject, 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.
