Patent ID: 8375210

Claim:
A method comprising: by a first machine, receiving an input configuration key corresponding to a configuration key of a second machine, the configuration key being determined by the second machine during a configuration mode of the second machine; by the first machine, generating a first cryptographic key based on one or more characters in the input configuration key; by the first machine, determining an access point identifier and a third cryptographic key; by the first machine, establishing a secured channel with the second machine based on the first cryptographic key, the second machine being configured to: generate a second cryptographic key identical to the first cryptographic key based on one or more characters in the configuration key; and facilitate said establishing the secured channel based on the second machine having generated the second cryptographic key; and by the first machine, providing a configuration to the second machine over the secured channel, the configuration including the determined access point identifier and the third cryptographic key; and by the first machine, establishing an other secured channel with the second machine based on the determined access point identifier and the third cryptographic key.
