Abstract
In an example, a method includes pairing a first electronic device and a data relay apparatus associated with a second electronic device to establish a secure wireless communication link therebetween. Each of the first electronic device and the data relay apparatus may be associated with an identifier and a verifier, each verifier being to verify the identifier of the other of the first electronic device or data relay apparatus. The pairing may include mutual verification of an identifier using the verifier, establishing shared key data and using the shared key data to establish a shared secret value for use in determining a derived key.
