A method to establish a secure wireless link for communication between a first device and a second device over a wireless physical channel, wherein a paring protocol requires sending over the wireless channel identifying information by the first device, identifying information being data suitable for identifying the device sending the identifying information or a user thereof, the pairing protocol being based upon a Device Provisioning Protocol and wherein the identifying information is a part of the Connector as defined in the Device Provisioning Protocol; the method comprising - generating random information; - the first device encrypting the identifying information by using a public key information of the second device and the random information; - the first device transmitting the encrypted identifying information over the wireless channel in a modified Connector, the modified Connector not comprising any identifying information in unencrypted form; - the second device receiving the encrypted identifying information and using private key information associated with the public key information for decrypting the encrypted identifying information to extract the identifying information; - the second device using the extracted identifying information to restore the original Connector and to verify the integritry of the restored original Connector, - using a secret uniquely related to the identifying information to derive a session key, and - using the session key to establish the secure wireless link. wherein a paring protocol requires sending over the wireless channel identifying information by the first device, identifying information being data suitable for identifying the device sending the identifying information or a user thereof, the pairing protocol being based upon a Device Provisioning Protocol and wherein the identifying information is a part of the Connector as defined in the Device Provisioning Protocol; the method comprising - generating random information; - the first device encrypting the identifying information by using a public key information of the second device and the random information; - the first device transmitting the encrypted identifying information over the wireless channel in a modified Connector, the modified Connector not comprising any identifying information in unencrypted form; - the second device receiving the encrypted identifying information and using private key information associated with the public key information for decrypting the encrypted identifying information to extract the identifying information; - the second device using the extracted identifying information to restore the original Connector and to verify the integritry of the restored original Connector, - using a secret uniquely related to the identifying information to derive a session key, and - using the session key to establish the secure wireless link. - generating random information; - the first device encrypting the identifying information by using a public key information of the second device and the random information; - the first device transmitting the encrypted identifying information over the wireless channel in a modified Connector, the modified Connector not comprising any identifying information in unencrypted form; - the second device receiving the encrypted identifying information and using private key information associated with the public key information for decrypting the encrypted identifying information to extract the identifying information; - the second device using the extracted identifying information to restore the original Connector and to verify the integritry of the restored original Connector, - using a secret uniquely related to the identifying information to derive a session key, and - using the session key to establish the secure wireless link. <EOS>
