Abstract:
1. A method for virtual pairing of a first peer device with a second peer device, comprising: generating a nonce at the first peer device for use in virtually pairing the first and second peer devices to establish a first-type wireless connection having a first-type protocol; forwarding the nonce from the first peer device to the second peer device over an existing second-type wireless connection between the first and second peer devices; generating at least one new link key for the first-type wireless connection from the nonce and a shared key for the existing second-type wireless connection using security delegation wherein security delegation comprises using device authentication from the existing second-type wireless connection without exchanging generation information for the at least one new link key according to the first-type protocol of the first-type wireless connection; and virtually pairing the first peer device with the second peer device using the at least one new link key to establish the first-type wireless connection between the first and second peer devices.
