The present application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/325,211, filed Dec. 14, 2011, Dec. 14, 2011, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,661,272. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/325,211 is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/033,284, filed Feb. 19, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,090,963. The contents of both documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
1. A method of managing power at a peripheral device, the method comprising: receiving, from a base device and at a processor for the peripheral device, a power management message, the power management message including an indication of bounds of a period of reduced operation for the peripheral device; according to the indication: the processor suspending a timer related to a cryptographic key at a first time; and the processor restarting the timer related to the cryptographic key at a second time.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first time and the second time are included in the power management message as the bounds of the period of reduced operation for the peripheral device.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first time closely follows a time of receipt of the power management message; wherein the second time comprises a future time determined by adding a duration to the first time; and wherein an indication of the duration is included in the power management message as one of the bounds of the period of reduced operation for the peripheral device.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the peripheral device comprises a smart card reader.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the receiving the power management message occurs over a wireless communication channel.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the wireless communication channel comprises a Bluetooth™communication channel.
7. The method of claim 5 further comprising, at the first time, reducing operation of the peripheral device.
8. The method of claim 7 further comprising, at the second time, resuming operation of the peripheral device.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein implementing the reducing operation comprises terminating maintenance of the wireless communication channel.
10. The method of claim 9 further comprising, subsequent to the resuming operation, reestablishing the wireless communication channel.
11. A peripheral device comprising: a processor adapted to: receive, from a base device, the power management message, the power management message including an indication of bounds of a period of reduced operation for the peripheral device; and according to the indication: suspend a timer related to a cryptographic key at a first time; and restart the timer related to the cryptographic key at a second time.
12. The peripheral device of claim 11 wherein the peripheral device comprises a smart card reader.
13. The peripheral device of claim 11 wherein the first time and the second time are included in the power management message as the bounds of the period of reduced operation for the peripheral device.
14. The peripheral device of claim 11, wherein the first time closely follows a time of receipt of the power management message; wherein the second time comprises a future time determined by adding a duration to the first time; and wherein an indication of the duration is included in the power management message as one of the bounds of the period of reduced operation for the peripheral device.
15. The peripheral device of claim 11 further comprising a communication module adapted to receive the power management message over a wireless communication channel.
16. The peripheral device of claim 15 wherein the wireless communication channel comprises a Bluetooth™communication channel.
17. The peripheral device of claim 15 wherein the processor is further adapted to reduce operation of the peripheral device.
18. The peripheral device of claim 17 wherein the processor is further adapted to resume operation of the peripheral device.
19. The peripheral device of claim 18 wherein, to reduce operation of the peripheral device, the processor is further adapted to terminate maintenance of the wireless communication channel.
20. The peripheral device of claim 19 further comprising a communication module adapted to reestablish the wireless communication channel.
21. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by processor in a peripheral device, cause the processor to: receive, from a base device, a power management message, the power management message including an indication of bounds of a period of reduced operation for the peripheral device; the instructions causing the processor to, according to the indication: suspend a timer related to a cryptographic key at a first time; and restart the timer related to the cryptographic key at a second time.
