    Abstract: A method in a computing device includes: establishing an association with a base station; initiating a handshake with the base station to obtain an encryption key; prior to transmitting content data associated with an application executing at the computing device, transmitting a test message to the base station, the test message containing a payload distinct from the content data; determining, based on a message received from the base station after transmission of the test message, whether the base station has completed installation of the encryption key; and in response to determining that the base station has completed installation of the encryption key, transmitting the content data to the base station using the encryption key.
