Abstract:
A method comprises a server generating a server nonce and transmitting a server public key, a key signature and the server nonce to a device, the device verifying the server public key, signing the server nonce with a device private key, generating a device nonce, and transmitting the server nonce, the server nonce signature, a device public key, a device key signature, and the device nonce to the server, the server verifying the server nonce and the device public key, generating a session key, encrypting the session key with the device public key, signing the device nonce and the session key with a server private key, and transmitting the device nonce, the signed device nonce and session key, and the encrypted session key to the device, and the device verifying the device nonce, decrypting the encrypted session key with the device private key, and verifying the decrypted session key.
