Claim:
1. A method of conferring security trust and privileges between proximally positioned devices in the presence of a root trust device comprises: configuring a microprocessor to activate at least one wireless communications module, as part of an initial configuration state, to receive a unique environmental signal (UES) and a proximally positioned device's unique device identifier (UDI) in response to detecting, through a current sensor, a threshold charge capacity during a battery's initial charging, wherein the microprocessor is configured with an initial configuration logic stored in memory; generating a primary device asymmetric key pair for the proximally positioned device to first pair with the root trust device in the initial configuration state and imprinting the primary device asymmetric key pair, the UDI, and the UES as a primary device pairing event in a paired device memory allocation, wherein the microprocessor generates the primary device asymmetric key pair and imprints the primary device pairing event under control of the initial configuration logic; transforming the primary device pairing event into a primary device certificate and releasing the primary device certificate through a gateswitch to the proximally positioned device, wherein the microprocessor transforms the primary device pairing event and releases the primary device certificate under control of the initial configuration logic; controlling the microprocessor to activate a recovery protocol in the memory on a new root trust device during the initial configuration state upon receiving a recovery notification signal comprising the primary device certificate from the proximally positioned device, the new root trust device being a different device than the root trust device; imprinting the primary device certificate into the paired device memory allocation of the new root trust device upon matching the UES of the primary device certificate and the UES retrieved through the at least one wireless communications module through operations of the microprocessor controlled by the recovery protocol controlling the microprocessor to retrieve the UDI from at least one other proximally positioned device, and the UES through the at least one wireless communications module upon detecting a pairing notification from the at least one other proximally positioned device, wherein the microprocessor is controlled by device pairing logic stored within the memory, the at least one other proximally positioned device being a different device than the proximally positioned device; generating an asymmetric key pair for the at least one other proximally positioned device paired with the root trust device and storing the asymmetric key pair, the UDI, and the UES as a device pairing event in the paired device memory allocation, wherein the microprocessor is controlled by the device pairing logic, stored in the memory, to generate the asymmetric key pair and the store the device pairing event; and transforming the asymmetric key pair into a certificate and releasing said certificate through the gateswitch to the at least one other proximally positioned device, wherein the microprocessor transforms and releases the certificate under control of a certificate authority management logic stored in the memory.
