Patent ID: 7962748

Claim:
A method of establishing a secure access to a specific proprietary network, the method comprising the steps of: establishing a wireless communication link between a first device and a proprietary network believed to be the specific proprietary network using a first level of secure access to the network; requesting an access code from the proprietary network by the first device; generating the access code within the proprietary network in response to the request; receiving the access code from the proprietary network by the first device; manually entering the access code, as received by the first device, into a second device believed to be communicatively coupled to and in physical proximity with the specific proprietary network, wherein the second device is positioned in a secure location physically accessible only to an authorized user and communicatively coupled to only a specific proprietary network; comparing the entered access code to the generated access code by the proprietary network; using a result of the comparison to verify that the wireless communication link established between the first device and the proprietary network is a communication link established between the first device and the specific proprietary network; and enabling a second level of secure access between the first device and the specific proprietary network if the entered access code matches the generated access code.
